What to Expect
You play members of the Bergson family in Rea, fighting spreading corruption together. The game mixes cooperative adventuring with a unique shared bag-building mechanic, permanent hero upgrades, dice-based resolution, and simultaneous turns. You defeat monsters and bosses to unlock improvements that persist between scenarios. The publisher emphasizes family growth and interconnected cooperation.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at players who enjoy cooperative campaign-style games, it sits in the hobby/enthusiast range rather than pure family fare. With 1–4 players it supports solo sessions as well as small groups. Recommended from about age 12; prior experience with cooperative and bag/deck-building systems is helpful.
How It Works
Players control family members with variable powers and work together in scenarios that use a shared bag-/deck-building system to improve options over time. Dice rolling resolves combat or events, and simultaneous turns reduce downtime. Permanent character development means upgrades persist across games, creating campaign progression.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Amir Salamati, the game combines the video-game theme with a cooperative dungeon-crawler approach and a distinct shared bag-building mechanic. It features permanent progression and solo rules, positioning it toward players who like long-term character growth.
