About Piri Piri Summoners, from BoardGameGeek:

In a lush valley blessed by spirits, a tribe of summoners thrives in abundance. In gratitude, the tribe commits to a sacred duty: sending summoners on a challenging journey to forge bonds with powerful spirits. This quest is far from simple. Each summoner embarks on their own path, engaging in rituals and facing competition from their peers. Only the most skilled can complete this formidable summoning challenge. Summoners, it's time to bring prosperity to our land. With the spirits' blessings, begin your journey and embrace your destiny. In Piri Piri Summoners, players begin by selecting a wooden sculpture as their game piece and preparing the deck with Spirit and Active Playing Cards, along with Wooden Coins. The game unfolds in turns where players strategically collect cards for summoning, trap and bait their opponents, win territories and mana, and finally summon their spirits. The core challenge lies in summoning Spirit Cards by adhering to rules of suit and number strength, with the ultimate goal being the first to summon all three of their Spirit Cards, using strategy, resource management, and tactical placement to emerge victorious. The 1st player to successfully summon all 3 of their Spirit Cards wins the game. If no one can summon all 3 of their Spirit Cards and players agree to end the game, the player with the highest score win the game. Points are allocated as below: King: 6 points each; Queen: 4 points each; Jack: 2 points each; Wooden Coins: 1 point each. -description from the publisher
