Get it here: Baba Yaga Rule Book
This version of the rule book is slightly different than the one packaged with our first printing. In addition to a title page, company url, and a few typo fixes we expanded the section on game components with more visual examples.
Gone though is the list of alternate games, which can now be found (and expanded upon) in our forums.
Also the bibliography that showcases some of the works referenced in the making of Baba Yaga is now just on our website.
Good gaming!
I’ve read the rules and I’m going to buy the game. What are the plans for the expansion?
I’m interested in the cooperative version. Is it possible for the players to complete only one ques at the time together, before they continue to the next one? Maybe one hero completes one stage of the quest and another hero completes the next stage, as they travel alone on the board. When they complete one quest, they go to the next one. The game ends when the heroes kill Baba Yaga three times or when they complete as a team, a number of quests, e.g. three, four, five or six quests. In this way there is an rpg feeling,as the group works on the same adventure, except they travel alone and not as a group. I can’t think any rules for team movemnt at the moment.
The intention of the game is that each quest is *that* character’s particular story and therefor it is expected that each player works on their own quest separately (although, there are a few opportunities for other players to give an occasional assist).
However, I don’t object to ramping up the cooperative aspects and think that the game engine is robust enough to handle some house-ruling. I’d be happy to further discuss some ideas along those lines on our forums.
The planned mini-expansion still requires some playtesting and tweaking. It’s in a bit of hiatus while we work on getting our second printing together.
