Fabled: The Spirit Lands
The End of Times is at hand. Soon the worlds of humans and spirits will be reborn, and the Universe will be created anew. For thousands of years, both worlds were ruled by higher beings people used to call Gods. Now it is time for the Gods to depart into oblivion.
On the verge of the Universe facing its rebirth, the Gods have decided to entrust the reigns of the human and spirit worlds to the wisest among the sage brotherhoods. Many renowned Sage brotherhoods responded to the call of the Gods. Each brotherhood was allowed to choose seven Sages. At the appointed hour, the Gods unveiled the mysterious paths leading to the world of spirits, where no human had ever set foot before.
The greatest contest has begun, one neither world had ever seen before!
Fabled: The Spirit Lands is a fantasy strategy game. In Fabled, your brotherhood explores the fabulous lands of the spirit world. Your sages follow winding paths and visit fabled places along the way. Mighty allies assist them in their journey. Your ultimate goal is to gather books of wisdom, as they contain the magic essence of the Universe. The most prized of all are the books of Sun. The brotherhood to collect the most will receive the reins of the Universe from the Gods.
Fabled: The Spirit Lands is a fresh and completely unique euro-strategy that smoothly combines route and area building, area movement. The game features unique game design, stunning artwork of folklore, and multiple scenarios for immense replayability.
During the game, you add location cards to a continuous row — the Spirit Land. Each location — Prairies, Mountains, and Forests — contains one or two paths. Your sages step onto the paths and move forward during the players’ turns. Their goal is to visit the Fabled Places along the paths. The Fabled Places grant them Books of Wisdom and offer useful opportunities.
The Books of Wisdom have 4 tiers — Prairies, Mountains, Forests, and Sun. They may be converted into higher or lower tiers and are used for adding new locations, powering up Ally abilities, and more. The highest among them, the Books of Sun, also serve as Victory Points and determine the winner.
The Allies assisting you, as well as how wisely you place your sages and what locations they pass, create fun engine building mechanics. Starting with the middle of the game, breathtaking combos start to click, sometimes allowing a player to visit several Fabled Places in one move, travel through locations, or perform multiple Book conversions.
The sages proceed from one location to another, given that location paths are connected. The abandoned locations leave play and new ones are added, and the whole game area changes rapidly as the coming of the end of the game — the End of the World — closes in.
Fabled: The Spirit Lands may be played competitively or in the Challenge mode — against the Spirits sent by Gods. The Spirits may be faced solo, cooperatively with other players, or each player for themselves.
The game offers 5 main Scenarios and an Introductory, which are mostly aimed at competitive play. While the Challenge offers a strong game-operated player with 3 levels of difficulty.
Fabled: The Spirit Lands is set in an intricate world on the crossroads of classic fantasy and European folklore. It traces its roots back to pagan cultures. The game is full of familiar images and references that intertwine and create a unique dream-like visual.
