Description

Get ready to dive back into the world of Hyperborea with the Light & Shadow expansion, where the six nations are still vying for power and seeking out the most potent weapons to gain the upper hand. Years have passed since the magic barrier fell and the heart of Hyperborea was rediscovered, but the war between the nations rages on. In this thrilling expansion, players will uncover the secrets of the ancient crypts, where the mages of a lost civilization poured their souls into magical objects of immense power, creating the powerful Relics and Soul Cubes that will shape the destiny of Hyperborea. With the Relics and Soul Cubes now in the hands of the six factions, the fate of Hyperborea hangs in the balance. Will the nations succumb to the darkness of war, or will they choose a path of wisdom and prosperity? In Hyperborea: Light & Shadow, 2 to 6 players will navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries, using their unique abilities and strategies to outmaneuver their opponents and emerge victorious. With a playtime of 60 to 180 minutes, this expansion offers a deeply immersive and challenging experience, perfect for fans of the original game and newcomers alike. The normal complexity of the game rules makes it easy for experienced board game players to jump in, while the modular board and variable player powers ensure that each game is unique and exciting.
