Bedlam is a turn based game that employs versatile tile placement and card management. Tiles will produce resources (gold and armies) and are the main mechanism for gaining points. Object of the game is to amass 10 points. There are three categories of cards. Move cards enable you to relocate and gain valuable resources. Action cards are used to hinder or counteract your opponents game play. Instant cards are used at any time to help or hinder opponents and also contain secret points to assist in the objective. Players are limited to 1 attack phase per turn and this mechanic is a basic 1-1 exchange. There are cards that can be used to eliminate armies without an attack and also to add to defense during an attack. The game is not played on a set board, but is built by adding tiles during gameplay so each game will be different than the last. —description from publisher
