Pili: Into the Martial World

霹雳：入阵武林

A wuxia game from the Pili puppet dramas. Train, befriend heroes and hunt enemies, then duel with what you learned.

The goal

Grow strong in the training stage, then beat the others in the duel to be first in the martial world.

1Training stage: on your turn choose one of the actions still available; everyone carries it out, and the chooser gets a little extra. The action is then turned over and the next player chooses. Actions nobody picks gather coins, which go to whoever picks them later.
2There are six actions: raise fortune; meet a hero; take a manual (pay fortune for a martial art, which is mastered only if your acupoints meet its needs, and otherwise waits in training); train (raise acupoints); buy items (weapons, elixirs, gifts for heroes); and go hunting.
3Give a hero a gift they like and they move from acquaintance to sworn friend, and can come with you to the duel.
4To hunt, use one mastered martial art with its matching weapon and any number of heroes; if the damage adds up to the enemy's strength you win and take the reward. Hitting a weakness doubles the damage, and a kind of damage the enemy is immune to can't be used.
5Training lasts 7 rounds with three players and 6 with four. Then score by the scoring table and turn the score into health for the duel, taking only your mastered arts, your weapons and your sworn friends with you.
6Duel stage: each round everyone secretly chooses one move and their movement behind a screen and all reveal together. Move first, then see whose moves land and deal damage by weapon. A used move stays in front of you and can't be used again until you play Rest to take them all back.

The duel goes on until it is decided, and the last one standing wins.

For two players, take the number of training rounds from the rulebook in the box.
Don't take more manuals than you can master; an unfinished art doesn't come to the duel.
Qi Tian Di is very hard to beat, and whoever does takes his ultimate art or his weapon.
