Ancient Terrible Things: Reawakened is a pulp-horror tabletop game for 1-4 players. You play the role of an intrepid and foolish adventurer exploring a dark jungle river for Secrets. Each turn you must travel to a Fateful Location and face an Ominous Encounter. If you overcome the Encounter (using a combination of dice, tokens and cards) you gain Secrets. The object of the game is to be the player with the most Secrets when the game ends at the Inexplicable Event. Game play involves rolling dice to achieve combinations: runs, pairs, three or more of a kind, and single die showing a particular number or higher. Dice combinations are spent to overcome Encounters and to acquire the four resources used in the game: Focus, Mystery, Treasure and Feat tokens. Focus tokens are used to activate Swag cards to better manipulate dice results. Mystery tokens are spent to overcome any Encounter when visiting the Yawning Chasm. Treasure tokens are spent to purchase useful Swag cards from the Trading Post which give you a permanent game effect. Feat tokens are spent to play one-shot Feat cards from your hand. Ancient Terrible Things: Reawakened is the third implementation of the Dicequest game system as previously used in Ancient Terrible Things (1st/2nd Edition) and Konja. The third edition incorporates edited and revised content from all previous iterations and expansions of the game, renovated art and language-independent graphic design into a new and definitive edition of ATT. -description from the publisher
