Battleboard

Battleboard

Battleboard is a safe and fun event game hosted on the Ultima Online Evolution Shard. It functions essentially like a classic board game, but instead of using a miniature piece, your character moves directly along the board!

Overview

The goal of Battleboard is simple: be the first player to reach the "Finish" tile. Along the way, players will land on various hued (colored) tiles that trigger special effects, movement modifiers, or award prize scrolls.

How to Play

Obtain Starting Bag: Before the game begins, every participant receives a bag containing three essential items:

1. • Battleboard Number: Double-click this to determine your rolling order.
   • Crystal Ball: Used to select other players when specified by certain tile effects.
   • Battleboard Dice: Used to roll for your movement distance.

Starting the Game: After everyone has checked their number and order is established, players line up at the "Start" tile.

Turns & Movement: On your turn, roll your Battleboard Dice and move forward the corresponding number of spaces.

Interactive Tiles: Pay close attention! Clicking a colored tile will display a brief description of its function. Certain tiles can cause you to move even when it is not actively your turn.

Note: Please remain respectful, stay attentive throughout the game, and have fun!

Hued Tiles Legend

Each colored tile on the board has a unique effect when landed on:

Tile Color	Effect / Description
Purple	Pick someone to move directly to your current location.
Green	Use your Crystal Ball to select another player, then roll to move them forward.
Red	Back to Start! Return directly to the Start tile.
Teal	Trade places with the player currently in 1st place.
Gray	Use your Crystal Ball to send a player back 12 tiles.
Magenta	Move forward the exact same number of tiles you just rolled.
Yellow	Use your Crystal Ball to select a player, then roll to move them backwards.
Light Blue	Bring the player currently in last place to your location.
Gold / Brown	Switch places with any player of your choice.

Prize Tiles & Rewards

Landing on specific reward tiles grants scrolls that can later be redeemed for prizes:

Blue Tile: Grants one Lesser Reward Scroll each time you land on it.

Orange Tile: Grants one Greater Reward Scroll each time you land on it.

Pink Tile: Grants two Greater Reward Scrolls each time you land on it.

Redeeming Rewards

At the conclusion of the game, speak with the event NPCs to trade your accumulated scrolls for random prizes.

Important: Ensure that the scroll displays "Owner: (Your Name)". If you cannot trade a scroll, try moving it within your inventory. If it still does not work, contact an EVO Staff Member for assistance.

Winner's grand prizes vary depending on the specific Battleboard, the hosting staff member, and the current season.
