Black Sonata + Fair Youth [Scripted]

描述


This is an unofficial mod for the Board Game "Black Sonata" by John Kean.
It includes the base game and the Fair Youth expansions.

Initially inspired by the workshop version made by fossa, I gave it a complete overhaul with higher quality scans and a scripted setup, including different buttons for ease of use and to be able to advance the stealth deck without looking at the cards beneath.

The Fair Youth mini expansions can be chosen by selecting them in the setup menu. All of them are scripted accordingly. Tokens used in the expansion are included in a bag next to their respective cards. I have also included additional tokens for each of the seven landmarks, to help with keeping track of the rendezvous.

Further information on how to use the mod is included in the in-game notes.

Feature List
  • Base game + Fair Youth expansions fully scripted.
  • High quality scans from official PnP.
  • All 40 dark lady sequences included, plus inverted sequences and automated deck cutting.
  • Scripted setup that can be adjusted to different difficulties and choose which expansions to play with.
  • Automatic display with current amount of collected clues.
  • Quality of life buttons including: gain clues, advance the stealth deck or add fog cards without seeing the cards below. Plus, advance the stealth deck by the current number of clues.
  • Scripted fog, waypoint and trace cards, with buttons to help interacting with the decks.
  • Additional landmark tokens to help track the rendezvous location.
  • Notifications to help you track the current countdown and the trace and waypoint markers, if using the expansion.

Game Summary
For more than four centuries scholars have argued over the identity of the mysterious Dark Lady of William Shakespeare's sonnets. According to the sonnets, the Dark Lady seduced the poet and held him in an agonised thrall while also conducting an affair with the Fair Youth whom Shakespeare also loved.

In Black Sonata you will find yourself in Shakespeare's London, circa 1600, in pursuit of the shadowy Lady. A specially ordered deck of cards determines her hidden movements from place to place. You must deduce her location and then intercept her to catch a glimpse and gain a clue to her identity. You will need several clues to deduce her identity, but with each clue gained the Lady becomes harder to track. Black Sonata combines hidden movement and logical deduction into a unique solitaire steeped in literary history.

Can you finally solve English literature's greatest mystery? Or will the Dark Lady elude you, melting from your grasp like a curl of smoke and promises?

The Fair Youth
This set of mini-expansions adds new tools and challenges to the base game. Each expansion can be played separately or in combination with any other.

The Fair Youth expansion adds an additional deduction task to the game: you must discover where in London the Fair Youth is hiding. Bystanders will give you a clue for which way the Youth went from your current location, but if you are already at his actual location you will be told a lie. Deduce his location to surprise him there, or for extra points catch him and the Dark Lady together, unmasking them both at the same time.

The Rendezvous challenges you to discover which of seven landscape features acted as a meeting place for Shakespeare and his Dark Lady. Querying a location gives you a number from 1 to 3, being the number of steps away from the current location that the Rendezvous symbol can be found. Deduce which map symbol represents the Rendezvous, then confront and unmask the Dark Lady in a location with that symbol at it.

The Rival Poet adds a second pawn that stalks the streets and interacts with the player via simple movement rules. Choose from two different poets to make the game easier or harder. The Elusive Poet tries to stay one step ahead of you, but if you catch him he will reveal a clue about the Dark Lady. In contrast, The Aggressive Poet hounds and chases you, potentially spoiling your plans to intercept the Dark Lady.

Waypoints and Traces gives you two tools to mark and track the Dark Lady's location at a particular point in the stealth deck. And The Darker Ladies replace the clue cards in the base game, giving each Dark Lady a new set of characteristics and presenting a slightly harder deduction challenge.

Thanks so much for this. I love Black Sonata and being able to play in on TTS is awesome. Any plans for adding Strange Shadows?

Quick question, I haven't been able to get the same-suite clue to flip over once I've visited all locations - is there a special way to do it other than hovering and pressing "f"? I've also tried right-click "Flip" and that also hasn't worked. I do own the physical game so I've been playing using the card that's supposed to be the dark lady as the clue and the one that won't flip as the dark lady, and I've just been confirming that I'm correct with the physical card, but I'd love to be able to use this version as designed if possible.

@Nasim:

I get what you are asking but sadly that doesn't work.
The keyhole is just a transparency on the image. If you stack two of those cards together the keyhole will show the table, not the card below. The only way to make it work is how it's currently implemented i.e. non-stackable.

@Yizhe explains how to flip both. Just drag a box around the cards with the cursor and flip both with F

FYI now that discord has prevented people from using the client as a file hosting site, several images no longer appear. I believe they're all deduction tokens

Note on how to "flip location card and stealth card together":

Put the location card on top of the stealth card (the cards won't snap into a deck; this is intended), then select both cards by dragging the mouse over them. Then, press F to flip them together.

Thank you for this mod, it is great! I was wondering if you could flip the "front" and "back" sides of the location cards. This way they'd be able to stack with the Route cards properly so you can flip the whole stack (one location key card on top of one route card) and reveal the key hole image. Currently the "fronts" make it so you have to individually flip the cards and check which spoils it. Minor thing, just asking.

Just added the fair youth expansion to the mod!

All 5 mini-expansions are included and scripted for ease of use.

Let me know of any issues here.
