📖 About This Game
In RanaDrama, the Apprentices of an old Wizard got accidentially polymorphed into Little Frogs. Still in the Wizard's Tower, they have to try to overcome all the defence mechanisms that are targetting them now as "vermin". The final cure is outside of the Tower but only one of them can win. Be either clever or fast ... preferably both.
The game works with a modular board, where the different rooms of the wizard's Tower can be influenced and moved with different magic spells. While exploring the rooms for spells and wonderous items, the frogs have to avoid the guardians and traps of the tower... and sometimes even the rival apprentices, which are in the same Situation now too.
RanaDrama is a highly competative game where creative use of the numerous spells is the key.
At the start of every turn a Player has to determine by a dice roll, which persona (the one of the wizard's apprentice or the frog's) is dominant. Based on that, and modified by certain magical effects the movement Points are determined.
A Player can use theese Points to hop around on the room Cards, casting spells or searching their square on the room Card to find the key out of the Tower or other useful magical artefacts.
Only the Player with the Crystal key can pass the Guardian at the end of a floor, but all the other Players can hunt him down to get the key from him.
