Hey! I want to run a game of Grimoire since it looks pretty amazing.

I'm having a problem understanding the flow of the game. The rules says I can either RESEARCH or QUEST. Quest gives prompts so I'm pretty clear on what I should do. The RESEARCH part however, only says that you spend 2 coins and make a new spell.

The question is: what use are the research location prompts then?

I have a theory but I don't know if I'm right. I thought that maybe when choosing RESEARCH you pick a card and react to the research location prompt. And then only when you have 7 cards can you spend 2 coins and get a new spell?

Thanks for your nice RPG!

Hey CamilleBC!

Thank you for taking the time to download and play GRIMOIRE - it means a lot to me :) .

Your theory is correct! However, I would like to clarify some things from the process for you here. As I am sure you are aware, the instructions for this part of the game are on page 17-20.

When you initiate the RESEARCH action you spend 2 Coin and draw ALL 7 cards to then arrange into the pattern.
Once you follow the procedure for determining the 'spell' and 'glyph' you randomly select 1 of the 7 cards you drew to determine the research location prompt to then respond to.

You can find an example of play of this section on page 18.

I hope this clears it up and allows you to play GRIMOIRE further! And keep an eye on this space for the overhauled systems (once I find time haha).

Happy wizarding :)
