Chronicles of Waral is a tactical and interactive game in which you lead a band of warriors to outplay your opponents. Choose your characters, develop your strategy and take control of different combat zones in a thrilling, ever-changing game. Chronicles of Waral is a board game in which players fight for the control of Heldenheim. Opponents vie to be the most cunning and scheming over the course of several rounds to gain resources, leading to more influence. Whoever has the most wins! Players select their characters during a drafting phase: they choose a card, then give the deck to the player on their left, until each has three cards in front of them. All characters have unique abilities: they can shape your band’s strategy in the game. Each round, the districts for which the players fight change. It is up to you to adapt your tactics to the disputed territories. In turns, opponents place their warriors on the districts of their choosing and make decisions: gain resources to be used in another turn, conquering a district, using a trick card… But naturally, the city and your opponents won’t make it easy for you! -description from publisher
