Shamans

2021 · Card Game

Shamans

Players take hidden roles as spiritualists working to restore balance while opposing Shadows. Each turn, players play cards to stabilise the spirit world, perform Rituals, or acquire Artefacts, using an original card-playing mechanic to drive actions and outcomes. Social deduction and competitive play shape the experience: players read others’ intentions, form temporary alliances or betrayals, and try to align with the winning side before the final confrontation. Victory goes to the player or faction that best navigates hidden loyalties and advances their objectives through careful timing and card use.

    It's a beautiful looking game, but it felt a little bit flat. It feels like the game plays you. I always played the 'good' side and it wasn't that interesting. Give another try.

    Super plaisant, facile a jouer, simplement efficace pour tous; Un jeu de levés assez peu restrictif, ouvert pour tous. Un systeme d'identité caché simple. Il manque un personnage "neutre" et quelques jetons pour mieux balancer le jeu. J'ai bien hate de voir s'il aura une extention pour le jeu
