Tutorial: Hunt boar

[Farten]

No clue what to do or what choosing anyone does. No help. Not a tutorial but a great exercise in frustration...select hunt (supposedly easy, one skull and on easy) select a card, opponent card shows, select another card, opponent card shows and adds 3 to itself - can''t do anything else, clicking the cards does nothing so click hourglass
cards animate and remove hit points from me but nothing happens to the boars
Repeat the above steps until all my cards get eaten to zero but NONE of the boars do
Luckily it says I frightened the boars and I can try again...so, why not lets try again
EXACTLY the same happens, again
Try one more time (insanity=trying the same thing and expecting a different outcome)
Rage quit
uninstall
Come here and rant !

I had the exact same thing happen. This game looks very interesting, but there seem to be a lot of obscured mechanics. Reading the pop-up tutorials wasn't especially helpful.

There are 9 mini-games, each is governed by different attributes
(one can check in details in tutorial page: card-minigame challange skills)
E.g. to do a damage to an opponent in "fight" type mini game you need "damage" attribute
However in social interaction the "damage" attribute does not mater;
In social interaction damage is equal to the "speech" attribute.

In case of hunting damage is equal to the "gathering" attribue.
If your party does not have gatherers/scouts you may have not a single character which does damage in hunting. So one can lose even one skull challage.


Then there are secondary attributes, which are played from your tactic deck
(right part of the battle screen) e.g. to support your ally in hunting you need "ranged attack"
after playing the "range attack" is added to the "gathering" attribute of your right most character on the battle field (BTW. to get a "range attack" attribute character should have e.g. a bow/crossbow. If you have no character on the battle field you cannot play it)

Some secondary skills works as above by adding attack/defence, but many works as levels test.
e.g. in order to 'confuse' monster in hunting (confused charcters loses 1st combat turn) you need to have "traps" attribute equal/higher than the level of the monster (shown on the card).
BTW. In case you have level 1 trap but monster is level 2, game will simply not allow you to play this card for "trap" attribute.

Thank you for the thorough explanation.
My assumption was that the tutorial would give me characters with the ability to at least complete the tutorial and that it would help me understand how. Isn't that the point of a tutorial?

The game has also a an integrated help.

This is one of the worst game I ever played in term of gameplay. It is piss poor. The real strenght of this game lie in its storytelling and the nice artwork you get every event.

The rest? Sub-sub par. I certainly would not understand how you can't understand how the card game is played tho. It is about the easiest part of the game to figure out. There is next to no substance in it. And you better get used to it because that's 90% of all what you are going to see all game since the whole game is a serie of those card games over and over.

Sadly, the tutorial is indeed not the best feature of this game. Though, you may still check out the Thea: the Awakening Wikia at https://thea-the-awakening.fandom.com if you still feel like learning the ropes!
