Lineage Print and Play Readme

LINEAGE: Print and Play Instructions Resources for creating game pieces Many of the supplies for a decent prototype copy of LINEAGE can be found at Michaels. The very first prototype was made from cardboard octagons and wood pieces purchased at Michaels Arts and Crafts stores. I’ve included alternatives in the rest of t hese instructions but rest assured these items can be found at most hobby stores. 4 inch cardboard octagons 1 ½” wooden squares ¾ inch wooden blocks Sharpie Paint pens (red, green, yellow, blue, silver, black, white) Glass Stones (decorative)

Creating Player Pieces The player pieces contain important information. If you have access to meeple, one thought would be to tape a black meeple to a red meeple for the Tiger Master and a white meeple to a red meeple for a Tiger Student. You could also use dice. White die = Student, Black die = Master. Add a colored sticker to each die to match the color of your LINEAGE. Red = Tiger, Blue = Dragon, Yellow = Snake, Green = Leopard, Silver = Crane. Important information conveyed by the player pi eces: 1. MASTER – Black/Player Color/Plus sign on both sides 2. STUDENT – White/Player Color/Minus sign one side, Plus sign on the other 3. EMPEROR – White/Circles on all sides 4. GENERAL – Black/Plus signs on all sides

Glass Stones (Chi) Grabbing pieces from other games would really help here. Copies of RISK or Lords of Waterdeep or Agricula might help. You need the following: 1. 30 red pieces 2. 30 blue pieces 3. 30 yellow pieces 4. 30 green pieces 5. 30 silver pieces 6. 13 black pieces

Lineage Markers Use six 4-sided die matching the color of each animal to act as LINEAGE markers.

Color vs. Grayscale Printing Color is a big part of LINEAGE and it is highly recommended that you print the following PDFs in color. We’ve taken care to make basic cards, squares, and octagons that use the least amount of ink.

LINEAGE_octagons.pdf This document includes 25 double-sided octagon tiles. Be sure not to cut the folded edge of each octagon tile, as that will keep the fronts and backs connected. Alternately, you could make rigid octagon tiles by gluing the images onto chipboard or another rigid material cut to the right shape (4” octagons measured edge to edge).

LINEAGE_squares.pdf This document includes 36 double-sided square tiles. Be sure not to cut the folded edge of each square tile, as that will keep the fronts and backs connected. Alternately, you could make rigid square tiles by gluing the images onto chipboard or another rigid material cut to the right shape (1 1/2” squares measured edge to edge).

LINEAGE_cards.pdf This document includes 95 basic cards. If i t’s something you’re not worried about losing, we recommend taping these to some kind of existing card (a poker deck or magic cards for example). You might consider drawing a triangle on the back of season cards, a square on the back of the direction cards, and a circle on the back of the chi cards.
