Description

Borealis is an epic game of conquest in which players represent old gods of the boreal forest, trying to capture each other's totems using units with various abilities. It is played on a modular hex-based board, which is created anew at the start of each game by the players and can be transformed during it. It lasts 9 rounds, and to each round is assigned a season, summer or winter, which affects the units' movements and the arrival of reinforcements.

The goal is to be the player with the most Victory Points at the end of the 9th round.

Disclaimer: This is the first game I created. It's not particularly nice to look at, but I do think it's a fun game. I decided to put it on the gamecrafter so that people can try it if they want. I make zero profit with it, I'm just happy that it's available.

Notes

  • This game contains a premium upgrade called UV Coating that makes the printed components more durable.
  • This game contains laser cut components. Laser cut items will have a slight amount of soot around the edges, which can easily be wiped off; and will have a campfire smell for about a week after you open them.
