Read the full game description

In Aetherya, unexplored wilderness and a constantly changing kingdom await you. Humans, elves, dwarves, goblins and dragons live here, but don't always get along. Will you make history, or will your kingdom perish in conflict? It is up to you to shape the land according to your ideas and to accommodate all the inhabitants of Aetherya peacefully. But make sure that your neighboring kingdoms don't develop faster than you... In the game, each player starts with a 4x4 face-down arrangement of cards, and each turn you draw a card to replace something in your playing space. Aetherya includes three game modes — competitive, co-operative, and solo — as well as variants for players of different ability levels.
