Ride: Sports


The Summer games are just around the corner… fancy a Ride?

We made some UI changes for this edition. The most important one is that the board will turn grey when you need to choose between two squares, except for the two available squares.

� How to play?

Move inside the board by using the spinning wheel. The pawn will automatically move from 1 to 3 squares at once.

Sometimes, you will have the choice between two squares. In that case, the pawn moves only after you have clicked on the square where you want to go among the possible ones.


Special squares

During your ride, you can stop on special squares:

Bonus: Makes you move some steps forward.

Malus: Makes you move some steps backwards.

Obstacle: You must answer correctly to a horse-riding question to move +1 square forward.

Gift box: Grants a reward of your choice among 3 possible gifts.

Divine fragments: Grants some fragments to get Snow White


How to get roulette spins?

By connecting every day on the game, with a bonus for 5 days in-a-row.

By doing rides with your horses.

By winning competitions with your horses.

By buying them with Passes.


Joker

You can pay to get a Joker instead of spinning the wheel. That way, you can move to the space of your choice within a radius of 3 spaces in front of the pawn.

� Jackpot


Complete all the boards to win 4 Dressage & Show Jumping Heracles’ Horseshoe. Turn your horse into a champion of Dressage (+17 Dressage, +5 Gallop, +8 Trot) or Show Jumping (+8 Speed, +8 Dressage, +14 Jumping)


� New divine horse – Yellow Dwarf

1 x Champion Seed

Throughout the event, you can find fragments of the stellar horse Yellow Dwarf in Tyche's Crowns. You can also collect more fragments on the board game, and by achieving daily objectives.

Changes on the Champion seed

and Gaïa’s Foal


Multiple changes will be applied to the Champion Seed & the Gaia’s Foal:

� Players can now choose between any breed available in-game. Selection remains between 10 random breeds (swaps each week).

� Common selection pool between the two items.

� Foals born with these 2 items will benefit from significantly more skill points (calculated on the best horses of each server).

� New store page and UI for better comparison between breeds.
