Getting Started
- First Encounter: You can start playing Wheels as early as your first visit to the Port Town of Brisk. Just talk to the Wheels player at the bottom of the inn.
- Initial Setup: You'll be gifted Warrior and Mage Heroes, along with a basic board to play with.
The Basics
- The Board: Each player has a board with a Crown (your base) and space for two Heroes.
- The Heroes: Each Hero has unique attacks and abilities. They act once they accumulate enough energy, represented by a rod beside them.
- The Wheel: You spin a slot wheel to give energy to your Heroes and build your Bulwark (a shield).
How to Play
- Spinning the Wheel: You can spin the wheel up to 3 times each turn. You can lock reels when they land on something you want.
- Icons on the Wheel:
- Blank: No effect.
- Yellow Squares: Charge the left Hero. 3 squares equal 1 energy.
- Blue Diamonds: Charge the right Hero. 3 diamonds equal 1 energy.
- Hammers: Build your Bulwark. Match 3 or more.
- XP and Levels: Heroes gain XP when activated or through blue background reels. At 6 XP, they level up, enhancing their effects.
Heroes and Their Abilities
- Warrior: Attacks low.
- Mage: Attacks twice, one low and one high.
- Archer: Attacks high.
- Engineer: Attacks low and increases your Bulwark.
- Assassin: Delays enemy Hero's charge and deals direct Crown damage.
- Priest: Charges other Hero and heals the Crown.
Strategy Tips
- Early Game: Focus on leveling up a single Hero quickly.
- Defensive Play: If the enemy is close to attacking, build up your Bulwark.
- Hero Pairing: Once you unlock the Priest, they can be paired with Mage or Archer for longer matches.
Winning the Game
- Objective: Reduce the opponent's Crown (HP) to 0.
