Welcome to Instinct
A strategy game that challenges your mind and sharpens your leadership skills.
Simple Rules
After 350,000 years as Earth’s dominant species, Homo sapiens, like their Neanderthal relatives, became extinct. Homo instinctus now reign over the planet. You must choose 6 warriors to battle for control of the majestic Red Palace.
The order in which you choose your warriors will be the order they are positioned on the board.
Each warrior has strength, defense, speed and agility which will determine the outcome of hand to hand combat.
The battlefield consists of 4 unique regions. The Outer Ring, the Hex, the Inner Ring and the Red Palace.
5 terrain types affect the strength and defense of your warriors. These modifiers are displayed when hovering over the warrior.
An ACTION is when a team moves a warrior to an adjacent space or moves onto an opponent’s space. Moving onto an opponents space starts a battle. Battle results are displayed on the right panel. Diagonal Actions are not permitted. Each team is allowed one Action per turn.
A battle pits the Attacker’s strength against the Defender’s defense. The Attacker’s speed, the Defender’s agility and the Terrain modifier also factor into the outcome of a battle.
At the end of each ROUND (a Round is after each player has completed a turn) all active warriors recover strength and defense. 30% recovery in the Inner Ring, 50% recovery in the Hex and 100% recovery in the Outer Ring. There is no recovery while occupying the Red Palace.
When an opponent’s warrior occupies the Inner Ring all other teams are allowed 2 Actions per turn. When an opponent’s warrior occupies the Red Palace all other teams are allowed 3 Actions per turn.
A team wins when its warrior maintains control of the Red Palace for 3 turns.
