About Madcala, from BoardGameGeek:
Madcala was once the Mad Hatter's favorite tea party tradition… or at least it was until the Cheshire Cat took over as host!
In this edition of Madcala, the characters from Wonderland's War will be taking part in the zany Cheshire Cat's tournament of Champions!
Madcala is a two-player, asymmetric game that pits players against each other in a battle of wits and luck! Outthinking and outmaneuvering your opponent will prove easier said than done! If you can reduce your opponent's health to zero, you win!
On your turn, you will pick a plate of beads, pick them all up and leave one behind on each plate you pass, whatever plate you end on will give you an action to perform. You can also call on the aid of your "Plus-Ones" to the event. They have powerful abilities that give each player a different approach and strategy.
