Sword & Sorcery: Ancient Chronicles

Players take on the roles of legendary heroes resurrected and empowered by the gods to purge a dark, underground realm of corrupted deities and monstrous denizens. It is a fully cooperative fantasy campaign game for one to five players that uses modular map tiles, a kingdom map for overland travel, and scenario-driven storytelling via a Book of Secrets. Gameplay emphasizes tactical combat and a layered magic system, deck-driven events and enemies, and extensive character customization across a linked narrative campaign. Components include detailed 32mm miniatures, modular boards and several card decks; scenarios are designed to play in roughly 90 minutes and support solo or group play without a game master.
