Relic

Players each take on the role of a powerful hero from the Warhammer 40,000 setting and adventure across a sector threatened by a Warp rift. On each turn a player rolls a single six-sided die and moves that many spaces clockwise or counterclockwise through the board’s outer, middle, and inner regions, then resolves the encounter indicated by cards or board spaces. Characters complete missions, fight enemies, and gain rewards and experience to increase their power while racing to confront and defeat the threat at the center of the board. The game uses a Talisman-style adventure system where simple movement decisions lead to cascading choices and narrative outcomes.
