As one of four iconic heroes - Dante, Beatrice, Orpheus, or Virgil - you'll navigate the board, collecting souls and outmaneuvering your opponents in a battle of wits and strategy. With simple rules that can be learned quickly, this game is accessible to players of all experience levels, and its short playtime of 45 to 65 minutes makes it perfect for a fun and intense gaming session with friends. As you progress through the game, you'll need to make the most of your limited action points, recruiting hosts for war, playing cards, declaring wars, and conquering territories to achieve your goal. The game's unique mechanics, including area majority, card drafting, and variable player powers, offer a rich and dynamic experience, with multiple paths to victory and a dash of luck to keep things exciting. The dark, haunting artwork, crafted by Melissa J.G. in a traditional "from and over the paper" style, immerses you in the world of the game, drawing inspiration from Dante's writings to create a truly unforgettable experience. With its engaging gameplay and atmospheric design, Hell's Rising: Dante's Adventure is a must-play for fans of fantasy, horror, and strategy games alike.
