What is Ivanhoe
Take on the role of a knight and join the prestigious tournaments at the king's court. Use your cards to win the jousting competitions, and to fight with your sword, axe or morning-star. Rally your squires, gain the support of a maiden, and play action cards against your opponents.
Clever use of action cards can change the type of tournament that is in progress. One card will 'unhorse' you, forcing everyone still in the jousting competition to switch to a weapon battle of the action card holder’s choice.
Other actions cause you to drop whatever other weapon you are using and resort to hand-to-hand battles in which the player with the most cards- not the highest point total- will win a token. Depending on the number of players in the game, the first player to win four or five different tournaments becomes the overall victor.
There is a lot more strategy involved in the game than first meets the eye.

What the community says about Ivanhoe
Very simple in its mechanics, a kind of auction game in which you have to lead the auction after your turn. Special powers are quite strong and confrontational, white cards are jokers, and two of the five colours have special rules. You need to win four different tournaments (colours). It reminds the auction of Taj Mahal and The Great Wall of China.
Puteo e interacción aseguradas para un juego de bazas tan apasionante o mas que el tute o la pocha. A algunos les recuerda a Taj Mahal (no he jugado a este). A mi se me asemeja a Condottiero. Gestión de la mano con apuestas. Buena idea la de las cartas especiales que le dan sabor. Táctico. Hay que saber cuando salir de un combate a tiempo, cuando arriesgar, cuando agotar tu mano o cuando hacerlo con el rival. Contras: esperar a que los demás acaben un combate en el que estás fuera puede resultar muy aburrido. Dificil recuperar posiciones si has empleado muchas cartas y has perdido 2 o 3 combat
Pocha :) Justas medievales
