Jest phulin: Added explanation of the variants from another wiki page

== Goal ==

Get as many gold nuggets as possible during the three rounds of the game.
In order to do so,

# if you are a '''gold digger''', you must, in association with other gold diggers, build a path from the 'Start' card to the treasure card which can be found among the three 'End' cards
# if you are a '''saboteur''', you must, in association with other saboteurs, prevent the gold diggers to get to the treasure.

Your role (gold digger or saboteur) will be randomly selected at the start of each round.

== Rules summary ==

On your turn, you must click on a card from your hand to select it, then play this card or discard it.
You can also rotate a 'Path' card before playing it by clicking the 'rotate' arrow that appears above the card.

The cards are of several types:

* 'Path' card: you can play this card to extend the maze, provided it is compatible with the cards already in place. To do this, click the location where you want to put the card.
* 'Sabotage' card: you can break another player's tool of the type indicated. To do this, click the corresponding tool in the target player's panel (under the score). A player with a broken tool cannot play a Path card.
* 'Repair' card: you can repair your, or another player's, broken tool of the type indicated. To do this, click the corresponding tool in the target player's panel (under the score), or click on the 'Sabotage' card in front of you.
* 'Map' card: you can play this card on any 'End' card to discover whether or not the treasure lies there (you alone will get the information, other players will see nothing). Just click on the 'End' card that you want to know. Then click on "I have seen it" button at the top.
* 'Rock fall' card: this card lets you remove any 'Path' card of the maze. Just click on the card you want to remove.

== Cards in play ==

* 44 'Path' cards
* 9 'Sabotage' cards (three for each tool)
* 6 'Repair a tool' cards (two for each tool)
* 3 'Repair a tool among these two' cards (one for each combination of two tools)
* 5 'Map' cards (one less than in the box set, as requested by the game author)
* 3 'Rock fall' cards
* 28 'Gold' cards
** 16 with one gold nugget
** 8 with two gold nuggets
** 4 with three gold nuggets

== Roles ==

Roles are randomly selected among a set that depends upon the number of players:

* with 3 players: 1 saboteur and 3 gold diggers
* with 4 players: 1 saboteur and 4 gold diggers
* with 5 players: 2 saboteurs and 4 gold diggers
* with 6 players: 2 saboteurs and 5 gold diggers
* with 7 players: 3 saboteurs and 5 gold diggers
* with 8 players: 3 saboteurs and 6 gold diggers
* with 9 players: 3 saboteurs and 7 gold diggers
* with 10 players: 4 saboteurs and 7 gold diggers

== Available variants ==

The game author, '''Frederic Moyersoen''', told us about some game variants, and we implemented all four of them. Please tell us which one is your favourite in the forum!

Two variants are about gold sharing:
*'''Old Mine:''' the old mine was not as packed with gold... sometimes all you got for your digging was worthless stones. In this variant, some 'Gold' cards do not yield any gold nuggets (among the 28 'Gold' cards, 4 are worth three nuggets, 8 are worth two nuggets, 10 are worth one nugget and 6 are worthless). So it is definitely best to get first to the treasure in order to be sure not to leave empty-handed!
*'''New mine:''' the new mine is more even to each gold digger. Instead of distributing as many 'Gold' cards as the number of players - which benefits most to the gold digger that gets first to the treasure as he often gets two 'Gold' cards - it distributes as many 'Gold' cards as the number of gold diggers in play. Therefore, each gold digger will get only one 'Gold' card (however, it is still best to be first go get to the treasure in order to get a card of higher value!)

Two variants are about gameplay:
*'''Competitive:''' the gold diggers who have a 'Sabotage' card (broken pickaxe, lamp or trolley) laid in front of them at the end of a round, do not receive a 'Gold' card when their team wins the round. The 'Gold' cards are distributed between the gold diggers who have no broken tool (saboteurs are not affected by this rule). Therefore, with this variant it can be interesting to sabotage some of your fellow gold diggers... but not too often, so as not to make your team lose!
*'''Selfish dwarf:''' one of the gold diggers will get a red jacket. This gold digger is a selfish dwarf: he can only win if he manages to complete the connection to the treasure himself. In this case, he gets four gold nuggets while the other players get nothing at all. If another gold digger completes the connection, the selfish dwarf takes no part in the treasure sharing (which is done with as many 'Gold' cards as the number of players, selfish dwarf excluded)

'''Have a good game !'''

Jest phulin:

Cinco is a game involving placing tokens to form a straight line of at least 5 places.

==Rules==

===Number of Players===
Cinco can be played with 2, 3, 4 (2 teams of 2 players), or 6 (either 2 teams of 3, or 3 teams of 2) players. It ''cannot'' be played with 5.
===Game Components===
Cinco game components consist of:

* a playing board with spaces numbered 1 through 90, inclusive, arranged in a hexagonal continuous path from an empty space at the center of the board.
* 90 playing cards, one of each number.
* 35 tokens in each of 3 team colors.

===Set-up===
Players are arranged so that alternating teams will take turns.
Each player is dealt a hand of 4 cards, which only they are allowed to see. Team members are ''not'' allowed to share information about which cards they hold.

===Turns===
On each turn, players take one of three options:
====Play a card and place a token====
A player will play a card face-up from their hand, and place a token of their color on that number '''or any higher number''', as long as that space is unoccupied.

Example 1. Player A reveals the card 68. They may place a token on 68, 69, 70, 71, etc. 
Example 2. Spaces 87, 88, and 89 are already occupied. Player B reveals the card 87. They may only place a token on space 90. 
Example 3. Spaces 87, 88, 89, and 90 are already occupied. Player C reveals the card 88. They are unable to place a token.

See [[#Joker|Joker Variant]] for a variant to this rule.
====Draw a card====
If the player has fewer than 4 cards in their hand, they may draw 1 new card.
====Exchange a hand of 4 cards====
If the player has exactly 4 cards in their hand, they may discard all 4 cards and draw 4 new ones.
===Running out of cards===
If the draw pile is ever exhausted before the game ends, all discarded cards are reshuffled into a new draw pile.

===Game End===
====Winning====
The game ends immediately in a win for the ''team'' that places a token that forms a straight line of 5 (or more) pieces of their color.
====Stalemate====
The game ends in a stalemate if one team places their 35th token and nobody has won.

===Variants===
====Joker====
In the Joker variant, if a card has no legal moves (all spaces of its number and higher are occupied), the card is treated as a "1". Therefore, a token may be placed on any space on the board. 
Example 1. Spaces 87, 88, and 89 are already occupied. Player A reveals the card 87. They may only place a token on space 90, as it is the only unoccupied space equal to or higher than 87. 
Example 2. Spaces 87, 88, 89, and 90 are already occupied. Player B reveals the card 88. They may place a token on any unoccupied space, as all space equal to or higher than 88 are occupied.

====6-player game====
In a 6-player game, the game may either be played with 3 teams of 2 players each, or 2 teams of 3 players each.

Jest phulin: Expanded the answer under "turn-based" play. Also fixed a missing double quote, and a misspelling.

[[Category:Help]]

== General questions ==

===What is Board Game Arena?===

Board Game Arena (BGA) is an online board game platform. With BGA, you can play online and in real time against players from the whole world. A selection of various board games and card games is available. In order to play, the only thing you need is your browser!

===What do you mean by "real time play"?===

On Board Game Arena, your opponents are connected to the game platform all along the game, and they can see your moves and react to them immediately - as is the case in the real world.

===What is "turn based play"?===

This is often referred to as "asynchronous play" on other sites, and is used to differentiate against "real time play". Instead of all players being around the table at the same time, players leave and come back. After your opponent takes a move, you are notified that it is your turn (via email or visiting the site). You then go to your game, take your turn, and the process repeats for another player.

===What do I need to play?===

Your browser ... and that's it!

Board Game Arena does not require anything else on your computer. Thus, you can play from any computer, anywhere, anytime!

In order to make this thing possible, we are using the very latest technologies available for the web. This is the reason you should play with the most up to date web browsers to enjoy an optimal BGA experience (read more about our [[Browser_support|browser policy]]).

===How much does it cost to play on BGA?===

Playing on BGA is free.

You can also choose to help us by making a donation and becoming a [http://en.boardgamearena.com/#!club Board Game Arena club] member.

===What are the games available on BGA?===

Board Game Arena proposes a various selection of board and card games, but is specialized in modern ("European style") adult games.

[http://en.boardgamearena.com/#!gamelist See available games].

===What can I do if I have an issue with the website?===

Most of the issues one can encounter on this website should be solved with a simple web page refresh (or "F5").

If you experience persistent issues, you can browse the [http://forum.boardgamearena.com/viewforum.php?f=4 bug section in the forum], see if someone already reported the issue, and add a new bug report if that's not the case. Please take some time to describe the bug you are reporting in detail so that we can quickly reproduce and fix it.

===What is the legal status of this website?===

All the games currently available on this site have been licensed or otherwise authorized by copyright holders. Please be aware that games available on BGA can be removed at the copyright holders demand (for example: if they publish their own adaptation of the game).

Board Game Arena would like to thank all game publishers and game designers who allow us to have their games here, thus making it possible for this website to exist.

===I'm a game publisher: why would I like to have my game on Board Game Arena?===

The main goal of Board Game Arena is to make it easy for people to discover and love new games. We think that there is only two kinds of players on Board Game Arena: those who already bought the games they are playing online, and those who dream to buy them soon!

As the activity of this website contributes to increasing a game's popularity and thus generates game boxes sales in the "real world", we think it is beneficial to the boardgame community: people from all over the world can play online, we can have fun developing this game platform to the best of our ability, and game publishers get money from the box sales and build a special relationship with their players community.

== Meeting players and starting games ==

===I launched a new table but nobody is joining?===

Although Board Game Arena has been enjoying a growing popularity, it is still a young website. For the most popular games, you can find players at any time of the day. For other games, we advise you to come back at peak hour (around 22:00 CEST) if you can't find opponents at the moment.

Tip: check the number of online/available players for a game before launching the table.

===I joined a game. When does the game start?===

Each table has an administrator, which is the table creator. It is the responsibility of the table administrator to start the game when he is satisfied with the number of players having joined the table.

If you are the table administrator and can't launch the game, most of the time it's because there is not yet enough players joined the table.

===What is the meaning of the small color circle next to players names?===

* http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/status/online_.png : this player is active. He completed an action very recently.
* http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/status/inactive_.png : this player is inactive. He is connected to the website but did not perform any action recently.
* http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/status/offline_.png : this player is offline.

===What does the '% hits' statistic mean?===
% hits = number of victory points / number of games played

Where number of victory points is the following:
* When you win a 2 players game: 1 point.
* When you win a 3 players game: 1.5 points.
* When you win a 4 players game: 2 points.
* etc.

This way, "50%" means that you win 50% of 2 players game, or 33% of 3 players game, etc.

== During the game ==

===What is the meaning of the icons next to players names?===

* http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/layout/active_player.gif : this player must make a move now.
* http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/layout/active_player_clockalert.gif : this player must make a move now, and he has spent his reflexion time. Can someone wake him up? ;)
* http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/layout/active_player_nonack.gif : this player must make a move now, but is probably not aware of the fact. If the situation does not evolve, it might be that this player has some connection issue.
* http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/zombie.png : this player is a "zombie" (he left the game or has been fired from the game). The game goes on without this player.

When the "normal" avatar of a player is displayed, it means that this player is waiting for his turn to play.

===A player has to make a move but he/she doesn't. What can I do?===

* First, please remember that this player has the right to think as long as he needs to about is next move... well as long as he still has some time left on the game clock, that is.
* Then you can ask this player to confirm that he is still thinking about how to play.
* If this player seems to be away, we advise you to wait a few minutes: this player may be experiencing some network problems or have left his computer temporarily.
* If the player is not coming back, you can expel him from the game as soon as he is running out of time on the game clock for the current move (red bar) or if he goes over his allotted time to think by more than 3/4/5 minutes (depending on game speed). See Clock section for details. Important: in this case, no ELO points will be won by anybody for this game.

===What is the current progression of the game I'm playing?===

A percentage of progression is displayed on the top of the web page.
There is also a progress bar at the bottom of the web page shows you the current progression of the game.

===What is forbidden on Board Game Arena?===

* Leaving a game in progress on purpose.
* Taking an unnecessary and unreasonable amount of time at the end of game in an obvious losing situation.
* Kingmaking: enabling another player to win on purpose while there is a better move to make for yourself.
* Running out of time on the game clock.
* Giving some piece of information about the current game situation that corrupts the normal game flow.
* Communicating with another player about the game privately (ex: with MSN).
* Provocation / triumphalism / defeatism ... anything which is not fair play.
* Having a shocking avatar (no advertisement, no politics, ...)

Going against these rules will affect your reputation.

===What is absolutely forbidden in Board Game Arena?===

* Creating multiple accounts and playing against oneself.
* Insulting other players in any manner.

Going against these rules can lead to the removal of your account and/or to the blacklisting of your IP.

===What if some player does something wrong?===

The Board Game Arena platform has been designed to encourage players to maintain good behavior. The reputation system allows you to distinguish between good and bad players. Then, it is up to you to decide whether to start a game with them or not.

If you think a player has behaved badly during a game, you can give him a "red thumb" at the end of the game.

If you think a player has committed a serious wrongdoing during a game (ex: insult), please report this player to us, using the "report this player" link from his profile or game result page, so that we can take appropriate measures.

[[Category:Help]]

== What is reputation ? ==

On '''Board Game Arena''', we would like to have a strong competitive atmosphere with a respectful and fair play ambiance.

To achieve this goal, each player has a '''reputation profile''' which is the representation of his general attitude with others players. This profile is composed of 3 items:

* Opinions from other players (http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png and http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png)
* % of games you finished
* % of games you finished with no clock penalties

Seeing the reputation profile of a player, you are able to check if his behavior is good, if he won't quit the game before the end, and if he respect time limits.

== How to increase my reputation / what makes my reputation decrease ? ==

At any time, you can give others players http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png and http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png marks.

* a http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png if you liked to play with him/her, and recommend to play with this player.
* a http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png if you disliked to play with him/her, and discourage others to play with this player.

You can only give a single thumb (green or red) to a single player. If your opinion evolved you can click again on a thumb to reflect this change.

As soon as you give a "red thumb" to a player, a warning message is displayed when you try to join a table where this player is. In this situation it is recommended to leave the game or to expel this player.

By nature, opinions are subjectives. There is nothing we can do for you if you receive a for an unfair reason. However, we know by experience that this system has a lot of advantages and give a relevant information.

Qn: its unclear if the "> 10% unfavorable" warning is calculated against the number of "thumbs up / thumbs down".. or "total number of unique players played with / thumbs down". Hope the formula is the latter.. as the first formula will raise many more warnings.. more idiots give thumbs down, and are lazier to give thumb up.

== Advice: how to get plenty of http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_up.png ==

* Be polite! Say at least "hello" and "good luck" at the beginning of the game, and maybe "good game" ("gg") at the end of the game.
* When you need some time to think, click on "I would like to think a little" link.
* Always stay calm: it's a game.
* Don't press your opponent to play if he has some time left.
* If you really can't finish the game (this is not supposed to happen...), then say you are sorry and leave the game (don't wait to get expelled) to save your opponents time. Voluntarily disconnecting and conceding victory to the opponent does not cost you reputation like being expelled does.
* Be a good loser: if your lose because of bad luck or a strategy you dislike, don't blame the luck or your opponent (and don't give him a http://fr.boardgamearena.com/theme/img/common/reputation_down.png for this reason!).
* Be a good winner: if your opponent makes a mistake you can signal it to him, but avoid triumphalism and provocation.

== What are the consequences of a bad reputation ? ==

A bad reputation makes you suspect to your potential opponents. You will have to explain your situation, and maybe some players won't take the risk to play with you.

It is also possible to filter players by reputation on a table. The worse your reputation is, the bigger difficulties you will have to find opponents.
