PLAYER BOARDS
Each player gets to choose a character to represent them throughout the game. Each character comes with a double-sided Player Board featuring your Base Form on one side and your Shadow Form on the other. Wheels on the two sides of your Player Board will allow you to track your HP and Shadow Energy you absorb throughout the game. Plus, once you transform, you gain access to your character's unique ability that can grant you a huge advantage in the game!
HEX TILES
Hex tiles represent different locations within the game, and each location grants you an advantage (ranging from extra Resource allocations to healing to damage coverage). You'll also be able to learn useful Spells (or Counterspells) at each location that you can use to gain the edge over your opponents.
DICE AND TOKENS
At the start of each turn, you'll roll the 5 Resource dice to determine which Resources you have at your disposal. These Resources, which include Gems, Orbs, Shadow Fragments, and Cursed Crystals, can be used to learn new Spells and to use those Spells to attack your opponents. Because your Resources are limited, you'll have to plan carefully to make the most of them during your turn.
MAIN DECK CARDS
The main deck is composed of 53 Spell cards that come in two forms: Conversion Spells and Attack Spells. Conversion Spells allow you to turn your Resources into different Resources or add Resources to your Resource Pool. Attack Spells allow you to deal damage to other players within range. Some allow you to deal damage to only one player at a time, while others allow you to deal damage to all players on the same Hex tile. You can also upgrade your Spell cards to learn even more powerful attacks!
COUNTERSPELL CARDS
Counterspell cards allow you to surprise your enemies and turn the tides in your favor at an opportune moment. You'll keep Counterspell cards in your Spell Book face down so that nobody knows what you might have up your sleeve. Some Counterspell cards have defensive effects that allow you to prevent or deflect damage, while others allow you to strike back against anyone who dares to cross you.
COMPANION CARDS
When you transform into Shadow Form, you may immediately choose and summon a Companion that will stay by your side for the remainder of the game. Each Companion has a unique effect that remains continuously active. You only get one Companion, so choose wisely!
