This game was developed to be played with the Green Box of Games game system. The Gauntlet is a deadly race, where you want to be the first to reach the end while avoiding being hammered by your opponents and pelted with arrows. You have to climb over obstacles using the appropriate cards, keep your shield up at the right time, and maybe find a quiet spot to heal your wounds when necessary. Build a track with the tiles, using brick and lumber symbols as obstacles, and arrows as deadly traps, with the other tiles face down. With one cube to move and three cubes as life points, players will roll a die to determine the available movement points for a round. Cards are drafted from a pool on the table, and then each player chooses three cards as their programmed movement for the round. Brick and lumber cards are necessary to climb obstacles, Arrow cards fire the traps, hammers are for close combat, the shield for protection and the drop for healing. The winner is the first to reach the end of the track alive! —description from the designer
