Three Player Blink

Blink can be played as a three-player game with the following changes:

1. Shuffle the cards and deal them, face down, to form three equal draw piles.

2. Place one draw pile in front of each player.

3. Each player places the top card from his or her draw pile, face down, so that it is an equal distance between the player and the player to the right. The cards will form a triangle and each player will have a card to the right and to the left. …

The following examples illustrate all of the task tiles, beginning with the 7 starting task tiles (light green backs with a crane) and followed by the 53 remaining task tiles (dark green backs with a parrot).

In general, all tasks indicate a minimum requirement - not an exact number. ^ms, you can always have more of what is required, but not less.

Note: You never need to give anything up when completing task tiles. You only need to show that you have them. …

Game Components

• Booklet with rules
• 13 dice
• A cup to hold the dice

Object of the Game

Try to reach as first player 13 brains.

Game Play

The first player is the one who won the last game, or the one who can say "Braaaaains!" with the most feeling.

On your turn, shake the cup, take three dice from it without looking, and roll them. Each one is a human victim. The red dice are the toughest. Green are easiest, and yellow are medium tough. …

The character cards

These cards are central to the game. They represent the various members of the player's crew as well as important individuals who remain on land. Not all of them have the same influence or the same importance. Moreover, each of them has a special ability which will have to be used during the game.

Each character card has a name and a rank. The rank is written at the top left of the card and goes from 1 to 30. The higher the value, the more important the rank. The character with the highest rank is the Spanish governor. The one with the lowest rank is the parrot (one of the captain's mascots). …

The Crown

Out of respect for the dead king, the player changes the order of the power struggles. The player swaps the position of any two face-up Region Cards, including the one currently being contested if they wish, and places their Crown Token on one of them.

Any card with a Crown Token on it may not be swapped. It would be in poor taste to squabble over a region dear to Arthur's heart so soon after his passing.

Garrison

The player switches 2 Followers in 1 region with 1 Follower from a bordering region. These Followers may be from the same faction if the player wishes. The player may not use this action to immediately undo a switch made by the preceding player. …

1. Lay out the game board.
2. Each player chooses a marker.
3. Find the Dragon tile and set it aside.
4. Shuffle the path tiles and deal three face down to each player.
