Description

La Relève is a thrilling adventure game for 2 to 4 players that combines deck building, dice rolling, and storytelling in a science fiction setting. Published in 2014, this base game is easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to new players. In La Relève, players take on the challenge of saving the Earth from future cataclysms by building and modifying the future using cards. Each player has their own board and must complete their own story by playing cards featuring locations, characters, events, and consequences. As players draw cards each turn, they can also trade or buy them from others using batteries, the game's currency, which can be earned through dice rolls. The goal is to be the first player to finish their story with enough victory points, and when that happens, they get to tell their tale to the others in an improvisational storytelling session. With its unique blend of game mechanics, including acting, negotiation, and humor, La Relève offers a fun and engaging experience that can be enjoyed in about 40 minutes. Whether you're a fan of science fiction, adventure, or just love a good story, La Relève is a game that will keep you entertained and eager to play again.
