Description

In Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas: Malleus Maleficarum, 2 to 4 players embark on a thrilling adventure to recover lost books in an ancient room. This fantasy-themed game, designed by Enrico Pesce and Federica Rinaldi, challenges players to use their cards strategically to move and rotate footbridges, creating paths for their monks to navigate. Each player has a unique set of Liber Fidei cards that allow for special moves, adding a layer of excitement and unpredictability to the game. With a playtime of 45 to 90 minutes, players must balance their actions carefully to be the first to recover all their books and claim victory. As players compete, they can also utilize the Malleus Maleficarum expansion to introduce a new level of complexity and challenge. By discarding cards during other players' turns, they can summon the ghost of the Black Monk, which curses players it encounters, limiting their action points or cards. However, players can also choose to accept curses to play powerful Malleus Maleficarum cards, adding a strategic layer to the game. With its engaging gameplay and maze-like grid movement, Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas: Malleus Maleficarum offers a fun and immersive experience for fans of fantasy and racing games, making it an excellent addition to any board game collection.
