I can't find rules for this game in English. On BGG there are rules in French and Spanish.

Can someone please either translate to English, or at least just explain the basics of the game?

oh yes there is.
Power Cards Phase (optional)
You can use a power card (those cards are collected on pickaxes). Each card has a unique effect - read it by hovering the card in your hand with your mouse. See section below for more details on each specific power card.
Movement Phase
You have to chose between:
(a) drawing 2 movement cards; OR
(b) use 1 movement card then draw 1 movement card.
A grey downward arrow allows you to move your meeple ; a black upward arrow allows you to move any opponent's meeple. Each arrow gives 2 possibilities :
(a) moving a meeple by the number indicated in the circle
(positive = clockwise ; negative = unclockwise); OR
(b) moving a meeple toward the card with the number indicated in the square.
Some movement cards have 2 small numbers next to the big circled number. The big number X is always the addition of the 2 small numbers Y and +/- 1 : X=Y+1 or X=Y-1. It means that, by using this card, you'll first move the meeple by Y cards, then see if an event (attack or supply) occurs. If yes, solve the event, and redeploy the involved meeples normally. If no event occurs, move the meeple once more.
If your meeple ends up on a card with a pickaxe, you draw a power card (purple outline).
You'll gain points by surrounding any "home" card with your 2 meeples or with 1 of your meeple and one opponent's meeple.
Resolving attacks and supplies
Supply : If a player surrounds his own "home" card with his 2 meeples, he gets 2 points.
Noble Attack : If a player surrounds another player's "home" card with his 2 meeples, he wins 3 points, and the attacked ennemy loses 1 point.
Sneaky attack : If a home card is surrounded by a meeple of the active player and another player's meeple, the active player gets 2 points, the other meeple's owner gets 1 point, and the attacked player loses 1 point.
Redeployment
If an attack or a supply has been made, then both meeples involved will be redeployed. The meeple of the active player gets redeployed first ; then the other meeple (of the same player, or of another player).
A movement card is drawn, and the meeple is moved toward the card with the number indicated in the square. Same process for the second meeple.
Basically, on BGA, this will mean the 2 meeples will be teleported randomly to some card on the board.

Okay there is text, good. That text was however not on the page you linked.

Hi, just a quick remark on this, the gamehelp section is a contribution of the community in a wiki by language. So indeed it may be that it's available only in one language (if there is no info in one language normally we display English, but maybe that's not the case for some games or someone made an empty edit in the wiki or something).

This is getting childish, guys, I tried to explain you. If you haven't selected the same language, you don't see the same content for the gamehelp.
You are both right.
I'm locking this thread before you get into a pillow fight over a misunderstanding.
