About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for tactical combat where every move counts! In Brotherhood of Nine, you take command of a squad of nine warriors, your "Brotherhood," with a single objective: annihilate the enemy. The battle unfolds on a modular hex-grid board, creating a dynamic playing field that perfectly scales for 2, 3, or 4 players. Strategy is key: the positioning of your soldiers and the decisions you make in the heat of the moment are crucial for victory.
The game begins with an intriguing "fog of war." All nine of your warrior pieces are placed face down, hiding their identities and abilities until the right moment. This adds a layer of mystery and suspense, forcing you to deduce and adapt to your opponent's actions. There are different types of units, each with its own quirks, represented by double-sided hexagonal tiles. As the battle progresses, you'll reveal your warriors and use their strengths to overcome the adversary. It's a straightforward game focused on positioning and tactical combat, ideal for those who enjoy a quicker, strategic experience with a touch of medieval fantasy.
