Rules in Add-Venture

The game is played in turns. When it's your turn, you will receive the reinforcements. The number of received soldiers will depend on the number of lands you control. For every 3 lands that you own you will receive 1 extra soldier. The initial number of received soldiers is usually 3 or 4.

Additionally, you can increase the number of soldiers by conquering the lands that compose one continent.
There are 6 continents in the game's map and each one has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Northern America		This continent can give you extra 5 units. This means that the minimum number of received soldiers would be 8. It's a very strong continent and only 3 of its fields are used for defending from other continents.

Southern America		Once you've taken this continent, you can gain at least 5 soldiers. It's a good continent to start your strategy because it has only 2 defending lands.

Europe		The minimum nuber of soldiers got at reinforcement phase when having Europe is 8, which means that this is a very strong continent. The disadvantage is that you would have to defend 4 lands.

Africa		One can gain minimum of 6 soldiers when having Africa in possession. It has 3 lands to defend.

Australia		This might be the best continent to start your strategy. You can get at least 5 soldiers, while having only 1 land to defend.

Asia		This is the best continent, but it is very difficult to defend because it has 5 frontier lands. The minimum number of received soldiers when owning Asia is 11.

Rolling dice

In order to conquer another land you'll have to select your land and initiate the attack. Number of soldiers on attacking and defending land will determine the number of dice two players will use.
The following table shows theese ratios:

Soldiers on Attacking Land	Attacker's dice	Defender's dice	Soldiers on Defending land

2			1 or 2
2			3 or more

3			1 or 2
3			3 or more

4 or more			1 or 2
4 or more			3 or more

If the defending player has dice results greater or equal than the attacker, he will take attacker's soldiers (number is dependent on number of greater or equal dice). If the attacker has greater dice results, he will take out the defending soldiers.

Cards

Whenever a player wins another player's land, he will receive one card for the current turn.
In order to trade cards for more soldiers one needs to have either 3 different cards or 3 cards of the same type. The soldiers received for cards are as follows:

		10 soldiers		Whenever you have one of theese card-combinations you will be able to trade them, or wait for more cards. However, after having 5 or more cards you will have to trade them. Additionally, there is a possibility to take over another player's cards. If you conquer a player's last land i.e. if you kill him, you will take all his cards. You should watch the number of cards each player has (displayed above his special lands) and use this information if possible. Intelligent computer players will be able to plan a kill just to take over some other player's cards.

		4 soldiers

		6 Navy-base soldiers

		8 Air-base soldiers

		This is wildcard. It replaces any other card.

Air-base & Navy-base

If you trade 3 air or 3 navy cards for soldiers, they will be delivered to your special lands. Having soldiers on thoose lands means that you can attack other lands from your Navy-base or Air-base.

When you have more than 1 soldier in your Navy base you will be able to attack all continent border-lands that have access to sea as shown here.

Using you Air-base you can attack all lands.

You can always check which lands you can attack by selecting your Navy or Air base land and noticing which lands are flashing on the map.
