A Word About Players
Each player is an Amazon Princess looking to expand her harem of males. Players should be referred to as "Princess XX".
Girls keep their first name, but any male player has to "feminize" his name (Joe->Jane, Roberto->Roberta).
Set Up
Split the males body tiles in three stacks: Head/Torso/Legs.
Each stack is then shuffled and placed, face up, at the center of the board, on the little bed (Head/Torso/Legs).
Each player then chooses one colour and takes all the Amazon cards of that deck (11 cards).
Determine who starts first: e.g. "last girl to start a romantic relationship".
Turn: Betting for Male Tiles
Phase I: Initial Betting
One by one, rotating clockwise, each Princess places her bet face up in front of her.
Her bet is made up of any amount of Amazon cards of the same colour. e.g. 2 Yellow cards for a total value of 7 (5+2), 1 Blue card for 10, No cards (Pass)...
Phase II: Adjust Your Bet
One by one, starting again from the first player, each Princess may do one of the following actions:
- Take back one card from her bet, even if it reduces it to nothing.
- Add one card to her bet, this time face down (Card has to be of the same colour, of course). You can do this even if you didn't bet anything in Phase I.
Phase III: Rank the Bets
All players reveal their bets.
In case of "draws" (Players with the same total bet), each Princess takes back her bet. They are out for that round. They don't gain anything.
A Princess with no bet is also out.
Among the remaining Princesses, the one with the highest bet can take two male body tiles from top of the stacks (One leg and one head, Two torsos). She then can place the tiles on her harem to build a male OR on the harem of one of her opponents. Placement is final.
Note: There can be no more than 2 males "under construction" in each harem.
The Princess with the second best bet can take one body tile and do the same.
Phase IV: Exchange Amazon Cards
The Princess who won that round takes all the Amazon cards played in the bet of the second Princess and adds them to her hand.
The second Princess takes the bet of the third Princess, etc, etc.
The Princess ranked last takes the bet of the winning Princess.
REMINDER: Princesses who didn't bet anything and Princesses who took back their cards because of a draw don't get anything.
If there was no bet on the table (multiple draws or no bets), the three body tiles on play are discarded.
Next Round
The winning player starts the next round.
End Game
The game ends when two of the three male stacks are empty. The game ends as soon as the last tile of the stack is drawn.
Scoring Points
Each Princess adds the points of every completed male in her harem.
Bonus/malus:
- +5 points for the owner of the "Best Male" (Most points for one male)
- +5 points for the biggest harem (Most completed males)
- -5 points for the owner of the "Ugliest Male" (Completed male with the least points)
In case of a draw, both Princesses get the bonus.
The Princess with the highest total score wins and is crowned "Queen of the Amazons".
