Shrine: Duel of Light társasjáték

Angol leírás

Harness the mystical power of light in this innovative abstract board game featuring an LED board, steeped in the mysteries of an ancient culture.

As an avid explorer of lost civilizations, you make an extraordinary discovery—an ancient shrine dedicated to honoring the radiant majesty of light and its divine sources, the Sun and the Moon.

Your discovery, however, might be in jeopardy. Someone else has been following the same clues, and they are not stepping down from claiming the exploration as their own.

A celestial spirit, guarding the sanctum, invites the two of you to a pristine challenge known as the Duel of Light, where you will test your skills to determine who is truly worthy of the ancestors' heritage.

Both players will be dealt a sacred code, and they will take turns placing a translucent, colored piece, known as an Arcane Lens, on the ancient contraption illuminated by light. They compete for each space individually by creating the correct color—sometimes combining multiple lenses to achieve the desired hue. For example, placing red on blue creates purple, while yellow combined with red or blue results in orange or green.

There are four dials that connect the light originating from the market, called the Offering, with the twelve spaces corresponding to your code. To place an Arcane Lens, you need an active dial pointing at a space with 0 or 1 Arcane Lenses present. Before placement, you can turn the dial one step in either direction and activate any number of Treasure Powers with your acquired treasure, enabling you to bend the rules of the game: turn a dial an extra step or use an inactive one, lock and score a space, remove an Arcane Lens from the board or relocate it, or refresh the Offering.

After placement, you deactivate the used dial by flipping it face down. The dials are reactivated automatically once all dials are inactive, allowing for smart tactics with timing.

Building the largest contiguous area of matching colors, investing your treasure strategically, and knowing when to pass or take on some debt from the spirit will be key to your success in this adventure movie-like gaming experience, further enhanced with an advanced mode featuring unique symbols on the Arcane Lenses and other optional modules.

At the end of the game, players will earn treasure for the matching colors in their code, and the player with the most treasure wins the game.
