About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for whispers and omens in Noctenburg! Septima: Shapeshifting & Omens brings a modular expansion that will shake up your base game. The townsfolk have been talking about strangely humanlike animals appearing around, which is never a good sign. But don't fret, because now you can also shapeshift into your powerful Animal Form, gaining potent abilities to deal with all this chaos. Keep an extra eye out for the looming omens on the horizon, as they can change the course of the game! This expansion adds new layers of strategy and immersion, while maintaining the core essence of Septima that we already know and love. If you enjoy games with hand management, simultaneous action selection, and variable player powers, this expansion will hook you even deeper. It's a chance to boost your Septima with new mechanics and challenges, exploring the more mystical and dangerous side of Noctenburg. Perfect for those who want more depth and surprises in their game sessions.
