What to Expect
You manage villagers by placing them between the cards that form the city of Greylune and removing them at the right time to gather resources, recruit companions, acquire items and visit locations. The game blends Worker Placement with Events and an Auction: Dutch Priority mechanic, adding quests and unexpected encounters. The publisher description highlights intense interaction, constant dilemmas and tactical decision-making where choices matter.
Who Is This Game For?
