Basic theme
You are Friday and spend your time on a deserted Island. After Robinson suddenly capsizes with his
ship and runs ashore at your beach, your peaceful times are disturbed. To give Robinson a chance to
leave the Island again, you start to teach him to improve his survival abilities against the hazards of
the Island.
If Robinson beats two Pirates at the end of the game, he successfully leaves the island and you will
have your beloved peace back ...
Idea of the Game
»Friday« is a solo adventure. While playing you are trying to guide Robinson through the game.
He must win against two pirates without dying to finally leave the island again. At the start of the
game Robinson is not very cunning. In this game the pile of fighting cards represents his abilities.
By comparison Robinson‘s health is in good shape and he starts with many life points.
You have two possibilities to help Robinson. You can either cleverly beat the hazards of the island
and receive additional cards to improve Robinson‘s fighting abilities, or you deliberately lose against
certain hazards and pay with Robinson‘s life points to remove unwanted fighting cards from play.
During the game you will improve the quality and quantity of your fighting cards thanks to both
possibilities and help Robinson with his newly gained abilities and knowledge to win against even
more difficult hazards. However, life on the island is energy-sapping for Robinson so he is forced to
always add aging cards to his fighting cards pile. These cards are all cumbersome, so you‘d better
remember to keep them in mind when planning your next steps.
