About the game
What you do in a play session
In *Shaman: Taiga*, you become a shaman trekking through wilderness and spirit realms to gather lost souls. Your mission? Return these spirits to the World Tree to unlock epic possession powers. But it’s not just a free-for-all — you’ll need to carefully chart your journey, because rival shamans are gunning for that top spot too. The game blends action drafting ('dibs on this move!') with hand management, so every choice matters. And the theme? Super immersive — you’ll practically smell the pine needles as you bargain with spirits and uncover forest secrets. Get ready for 1-2 hours of strategy with a mystical twist!
