Carnival Heroes is cross-platform online multiplayer board game for 2 to 4 players similar to super mario party.
Inside the game you will enjoy 24 minigames which you play along the main game.
The game can be played in 2 game modes: online (vs real human players or solo (vs AI).
GAMEPLAY
You take turns in an order determined by the biggest dice roll.
On your turn you roll a dice and you use (or not) an item you previously collected.
The goal in the game is to collect as many crowns as possible.
Crowns are bought with gems. Gems you collect by walking onto the game board, by landing on chests or by winning in minigames.
At the start of the game you choose animal avatar which you will play as.
Each of the 8 avatars comes with a special dice which you can play if you want (you either play the regular 1 to 6 dice or the character special dice).
The game has two main gameplay modes: FREE and FIXED.
In FIXED mode you walk along a fixed routers. But you still choose which direction to go on the intersections.
In FREE mode you draw your exact path on which you player will go. You have to make sure you make most of your path (i.e. it goes through many gems, mates and it lands on a board item.
BOARD ITEMS
Gems. These are diamonds in 3 colors: red = 1 gem, green = 2 gems and blue = 3 gems.
Gems are used to purchase crows or items from the store.
Crowns. This is what you must be aiming to get. Crowns are bought with gems. In the beginning of the game 1 crown costs 10 gems..but as the game progresses they will become more and more expensive (15 or 20 gems).
Mates. Mates are special animal friends which will follow you onto the game board and will give you gems for each player you jump over (i.e. pass through its place).
Each mate you have, will give you additional big dice that you can roll instead of the regular 1 to 6 dice. Moreover, mates have their own small dice that they will roll with you and it will be added to your dice value.
Chests. These will give you random prize in form of items or gems.
Items are inventory stuff which you can use throughout the game (dice addons, portals or many other special items).
Events. Shown as questionmarks on the board, events are immediate actions like teleportations, crown movement traffic light switchings and others.
Battle. Landing on battle will force all players to bet a random amount of gems and play in a randomly chosen minigame. The winner takes it all
Hidden gifts. These are hidden fields (empty cells) which you don't see. If you land on a hidden gift, you will get a random prize or a bomb.
Positive gifts are gems, mates or items.
Negative gifts are gems taken from you or losing a mate.
Traffic Lights, These switches are giving you 2 routes to pass: free one and a paid one.
Paid route costs X gems to pass. On each pass it increases its price with 1.
Cracked tiles. Some tiles get cracks once a player lands on them.
When the crack gets big enough, the last player passing through it will pay small gems tax to repair the crack.
Stores. If you land on a store, you have the option to buy an item. Items usually cost 2-3-4-5 gems. Once all items are bought from the store, new ones will be automatically added.
