About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare for a duel of charms in the depths of the sea! In Sirens, you take on the role of a siren trying to lure sailors to your cove, while another siren competes for the same goal. It's a super-fast micro drafting game, perfect for those who enjoy quick matches with a touch of strategy.
The objective is simple: be the first to win two sailors. To do this, you'll draft cards in two phases per round, building your song with the cards you choose. Each song is evaluated based on four secret conditions, and the siren with the most captivating melody wins a sailor to her side. With a playtime of only 10 to 20 minutes and accessible rules, Sirens is ideal for casual matches with friends or even for a solo challenge.
The game unfolds over 2 or 3 rounds, and in each round, you and your rival will have the chance to select cards from a limited pool. The game's art, inspired by Greek mythology, adds a special charm to the experience. If you're looking for a light game with low language dependency that fits your budget (and your table!), Sirens might be your next acquisition. It shines in two-player matches but also offers an interesting solo experience for those who like to test their skills against the game itself. A little treasure for collectors and players who appreciate compact, thematic games.
