Description

Kaleva is a strategic board game where two players compete using the powers of ancient Finnish heroes, gods, and legends. The goal is to be the first to move three game pieces into your opponent's magic shield, overcoming their protective magic. With easy-to-learn rules, this 20-minute game is perfect for a quick showdown. Players place cards to correspond with the board's columns, giving their pieces numerical powers. On each turn, you can move a piece into a neighboring space, triggering a fight if you land on an occupied space. The outcome is determined by the cards controlling the columns, with the high card winning. Special powers add a twist, allowing you to scout your opponent's cards or evade attacks. With its unique blend of grid movement and card play, Kaleva offers a fun and strategic experience for fans of abstract strategy and mythology.
