About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare yourself to dive into Krasvetelia, a realm that was once breathtaking but is now withering under the dark rule of Mirza Noctis. Imagine a land where the sun barely pierces the mist and hope has been replaced by fear. The villain, a tyrant who seems never to age, controls the noble lineages and keeps the population under an oppressive caste system. But the real danger isn't just hunger or tyranny; something much more sinister is happening in the shadows. Reports of mass disappearances suggest that Noctis is performing a macabre blood ritual to consolidate his eternal power.
In HEXplore It: The Domain of Mirza Noctis, you and your allies take on the roles of heroes trying to prevent this imminent disaster. This game is an epic exploration experience where the board is built as you advance, revealing new hexagons, dangers, and secrets. With an engaging storytelling system, every decision can change the course of the narrative. You will have to face dark creatures, manage resources, and fight against Noctis's forces in a world that seems to be crumbling. It is a race against time to discover what scholars found in remote monasteries: the blood ritual is about to begin, and if you fail, the darkness will be absolute. Are you ready to face the unknown and save what remains of Krasvetelia?
