Description Edit | History

In a fantasy world dominated by goblins, when the bloodmoon rises in the sky, a new war begins, and new warlords raise their armies.

GOSU is a hybrid of Race for the Galaxy and Magic: The Gathering. Each player raises an army of goblins made up of soldiers, heroes, magicians, and other classes.

Each turn, a player can play a new goblin, activate a goblin, draw cards or pass. When all players have passed, the player with the most powerful army wins the battle. The first player to win 3 battles wins the game.

Contents:

100 Goblin cards
8 Activation tokens
9 Victory point tokens
1 Advantage Token
1 Rulebook

2 to 4 players.

Playing time: 30 to 45 min.

Release date: September 2010, in French and English.

3 Gosu Rules Summary - broken into 2.5x3.5 inch cards
I wanted a Gosu rules summary that would fit into the card box that I bought for storing my Gosu cards and tokens. Here's my solution. I re-formatted the "Gosu 1-page Rules Summary English" that was uploaded by "kneumann" so that it fits onto 6 double-sided cards. The PDF prints to 8.5"x11" paper. There are two pages (front and back). The front has cut lines for 2.5"x3.5" cards.

19 Gosu Army Placement Aids
I find that the thing that needs to be reiterated the most times is how goblins may be played into the army; I think the confusion comes from the fact that you usually first teach the rank 1, which has significantly different placement rules than the other two. Inspired by the play-aid in [url=http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/842572/gosu]this Essen booth photo[/url], the attached aid is intended to be placed alongside the army area of a new player (or just someone who wants a refresher) and contains placement rules for new goblins. Two per page, so print two copies for a full set. Cut each strip around the edges, and score at the marks between cards to fold in a "Z" to easily fit in the game box (or even in a card box if you're using one instead of hauling the whole thing around)....

37 GOSU Supplementary Rules/FAQ (Official Style Booklet)
This is the current version of the tournament/advanced rules (1.1), 2v2 rules and the FAQ for GOSU from moonstergames.com. I wanted them to be in a nicer format for keeping with the game so I formatted them and figured some other people would appreciate not having to duplicate my work. The rules are formatted for printing in the same size and style as the official GOSU rulebook that comes with the game. After actually attempting to print this out I figured out that it works best if you cut the paper to the correct size before printing as otherwise Adobe doesn't line things up correctly. I take no credit for any of the content/art/design.

14 Gosu card list in Excel
I sat down and compiled a complete card list in Excel, to help learn the cards a little better and see if I could find some interesting combos. I did this for myself, but thought others might get some use out of it. If you see any errors, please let me know. The list contains card Name, Clan, Level, Mutation Cost, and card effect descriptions.
