About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to defend the gate in 'Siege of the Eternal Night', a fast-paced and straightforward game that puts you in the shoes of a commander defending the city against a relentless horde. History repeats itself, but memory fails, and now you must ensure the night isn't eternal for the defenders. Each turn, you'll roll two dice and use the results to decide how to spend your resources: send troops into direct combat outside the walls, cast powerful spells to decimate enemies, or use the crossbow for precise ranged attacks. The battlefield is a grid where gray enemies advance, and your objective is to eliminate them all before the ninth turn concludes. It sounds simple, but managing the dice results and strategically choosing where and how to attack are crucial. Every decision counts towards minimizing your final score, which is based on the remaining enemies. It's a game that shines in solo play, but can also be enjoyed in a group, where each person takes on a role or simply competes for the best score. With very little text and easy-to-remember rules, 'Siege of the Eternal Night' is perfect for those seeking a tactical and engaging experience without spending hours learning the rules. Grab your paper and pencil, prepare the dice, and show them this night won't be the last!
