About the game
What you do in a play session
In Shadows Upon Lassadar, you play as a young magic adept on a desperate quest to save the kingdom of Lassadar from the dreaded Grayking. This solo adventure game has you traveling through cities, learning spells, and battling the villain's servants in strategic encounters. Beware: magic is a double-edged sword — using powerful spells may corrupt your spirit and cost you the game. It blends cards, dice, and a hex grid for expanded battles, with AI that adapts to your progress. Get ready for a tense journey full of crucial decisions, where every choice could mean salvation or doom. Includes Print & Play options for home assembly.
