How To Play
Simurgh is played in a sequence of turns, with each turn allowing a player to perform 1 Main Action and any number of Free Actions. As a Main Action, a player will usually place a worker on an Action Space.
The workers (collectively known as Vassals) come in two types: Spearmen – young warriors of each house, and Dragonriders – noble warriors and hunters gifted with their own Simurgh steed. On their turn, each player will place one of their Vassals on an empty Action Space to gain resources, exchange their assets for Power Points, add new Vassals to their house or breed a new type of Simurgh.
During the game, players will collectively build the board by drawing and placing Action Tiles, each either providing new Action Spaces (some allowing any Vassals, some exclusively the Dragonriders), or creating an opportunity to score points for combinations of specific dragons in a player’s possession. When all the scoring spaces are filled with tiles, the game ends at the end of the round and Power Points are tallied.
Call of the Dragonlord is a premium modular expansion for Simurgh. Introducing a second board depicting the Forgotten Metropolis, Call of the Dragonlord also adds a new type of Vassal – the Wizard – as well as a set of new Action Tiles.
As an addition to each player’s workforce, the Wizard can be used separately, or in conjunction with the new board. With the Forgotten Metropolis in play, players will move their Wizards on three different tracks, each providing Power Points and resources. But this movement comes with a cost, and only managing their Spellbook smartly will allow a player to reap the benefits of their Wizard being first to enter the Dragonlord’s Tomb.
Apart from expanding the pool of Resource, Transformation, Exploration, Research and Objective Tiles, Simurgh: Call of the Dragonlord also introduces Leadership Tiles – a new type of Action Tiles that may be used with the new board, or simply added to the base game without using any other expansion elements. With Action Spaces allowing for movement of multiple Vassals in one turn, Leadership Tiles add unexpected mobility to players able to make smart use of the unique abilities these tiles provide.

Important Notes
Produzione. It must make a distinction between games printed directly by Giochix or printed by another publisher, that we can be call "indirect".
In the first case we have direct control over the printing procedures and we can intervene quickly in case of problems, solving and adjusting if necessary. In the second case we can only interact with the publisher that prints the game without having the opportunity to act on the production process.
This means that when the games are printed by us, the shipping date that we indicated in the draft is fairly safe. Obviously in this case there may be delays, and this should be taken into account, but we are confident of being able to respect the times given.
In the second case, for "indirect" games, the shipment date is only indicative. Unfortunately it can happen that deliveries suffer a delay and this must be considered before making a purchase. Of course we will inform you immediately if something were to happen.
-> Simurgh is printed by NSKN Games, not by Giochix. So it is an "indirect" game.
Contents. Game specifications and contents are indicative and can be changed during final production.
Fairs. It can happens that game shipment is adjacent to a big Fair, like Essen Fair in Germany or Lucca Comics and Games in Italy. Is important to know that we will show/sell the game in these fairs indipendently by campaign participant shipment status. These Fairs are too much important and unfortunately is not possible to avoid them without destroy game chances to be a success.
Progect pages. Sometime can be there some little variances on the different language project pages on Giochistarter (Italian, French, English, Spanish, German). In that case, refer to the project English page.
Shipments. Depending on the game, we ship by Postal service, Postal service insured or by Courier (UPS/GLS/Bartolini/SDA).
Shipments made by Courier or by Postal service insured can be tracked and are insured. Shipments made by Postal service (not insured) can not be traced and, although it rarely does, it can happen that they delay or are lost. We recommend to those who want to avoid any problem to use the insured option or an alternative method, if available.
We reserve the right to separate the contents of an order in different shipments or to merge the contents of different orders in the same shipment to improve shipment delivery speed and logistic managment. If that happens, there will not be any additional cost for the customer or right to any refund.
Shipments insurance doesn't cover any external damage to the box.
If the game will not be delivered because of your mistake (wrong address, recipient repeatedly absent, do not pick up the package after the passage of the courier, etc.), you will have to pay an additional shipping cost to re-send you the game. This cost will also include the return costs of the game. Otherwise, if we made an error, we will send it again to you at our expense.
If the game gone lost without any fault, we will reship it only if you took insurance option or Courier service.
If you live out of the European Community, customs taxes could be added. This usually doesn't happen for boardgames. Check your Country legislation to be sure about that, ad this aspect is not a our responsability.
We will no longer accept complaints related to this campaign after 12 months of its term.
