Description

In Pantacle, a dark fantasy horror board game, 3 to 5 players embark on a thrilling adventure to light the flames of the mysterious Pantacle. To achieve this, each player must gather resources, including Influence, Adepts, and Powers, by requesting favors from the enigmatic Keepers of the Pantacle. However, beware of your opponents, as they can sabotage your efforts by countering your requests and bribing the favors away from you. With 7 types of favors to choose from, players must strategically manage their resources and hand to outmaneuver their opponents and progress in the game. As players light the flames of the Pantacle, they'll receive rewards, but also incur curses that can hinder their progress. The Keepers can offer temporary relief from these curses, but it's up to the players to navigate the complex web of alliances and rivalries to emerge victorious. With a playtime of 45 to 60 minutes and normal complexity, Pantacle is an engaging game that's easy to learn for experienced board game enthusiasts. Designed by Yann Grizonnet, David Paput, and Yoann Callet, and published in 2022, Pantacle promises a thrilling experience that combines action drafting, hand management, and racing mechanics, making it a must-try for fans of fantasy and horror-themed games.
