About the game
What you do in a play session
Step into a whimsical, moonlit forest brought to life by the stunning artwork of Beth Sobel! In Nocturne, you play as a sly fox mystic on a quest to collect enchanted items and gain prestige. This game is a clever blend of spatial bidding and set collection, where positioning is key. Each turn, you use numbered tokens to cast spells, attempting to secure the best treasures—like glowing mushrooms, firebird feathers, or rare herbs—before your rivals can snatch them away. It's not just about grabbing items; you must strategically decide when to use your strongest spells and when to hold back. The forest itself is modular, ensuring a fresh experience every time, with different scoring goals for the twilight and moonlight phases. Beyond just collecting sets, you can combine items to fulfill magical recipes for extra points. If your spellcasting falls short, you can always make an offering to the forest sprites—those adorable magical mice—to expand your collection. Nocturne is a fast-paced, highly interactive, and visually captivating experience that keeps you on your toes!
