About the game
What you do in a play session
In Mist Wars, you take on the role of legendary heroes trying to establish new kingdoms in the shattered lands of the ancient Aruva Empire after a divine war. The game takes place on a modular board assembled from region and city tiles. Each player chooses a hero with unique attributes and abilities, aiming to expand their territory and build an efficient resource-generating engine. You place producer, road, and investment tiles to create trade networks linking raw resources to urban centers, generating steady income. Influence markers are spread across the map, while equipment and adventure cards are carefully managed. Combat and quest checks are resolved by rolling dice against your attributes. Random events can shift the game's course, introducing unexpected dangers or opportunities. The game ends when a player eliminates all other heroes or reaches the required score on the victory track. Get ready for a mix of strategy, luck, and resource management in a fantasy world full of possibilities!
