Description

In the game of Eschaton, players take on the role of cult leaders vying for the favor of the Dark One in the final days before Armageddon. With the world on the brink of destruction, only one cult will be chosen to survive the impending cataclysm. Players must build their cult through a combination of battle, divination, and recruitment, earning points of favor to secure their place. As a deck-building strategy game, Eschaton challenges players to utilize their existing cultists to recruit new members, each with unique specialties and abilities. With support for 2 to 6 players and a playtime of 60 to 180 minutes, Eschaton offers a thrilling experience for fans of fantasy and medieval-themed games. Published in 2016, this base game has a normal complexity level, making it accessible to those familiar with board games, and can be expanded with the Eschaton: Sigils of Ruin expansion for even more gameplay options.
