About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare to dive into the dark universe of Robert E. Howard, the creator of Conan, in Solomon Kane. This isn't just another adventure game; it's an immersive narrative experience where you don't control the hero directly, but rather the invisible forces of good. As one of the four Cardinal Virtues—Courage, Prudence, Temperance, or Justice—you must guide the relentless Puritan Solomon Kane through magical perils and grotesque creatures to combat the darkness. The game shines with its innovative cooperative mechanics, using a 'puppet master' system where the board and the story react to your choices. Each mission can be a short chapter or an epic saga spanning several acts, ensuring every decision has real weight on the hero's fate. Featuring breathtaking 35mm miniatures and an AI system that controls the forces of evil, Solomon Kane offers a constant struggle against chaos. Replayability is incredibly high thanks to the modular board and multiple possible outcomes for each chapter. If you're looking for a dense campaign with moral choices and tactical miniature combat, this is your next destination. But beware: the darkness is cunning and always lurking to turn your journey into a nightmare.
