MONOLITH ARENA Board Game Fantasy Skirmish

Description: If you are already familiar with Neuroshima Hex, there isn’t much to add to how the game works. For the uninitiated—each player chooses a faction and places that faction’s banner on the hexagonal board. Then, players take turns adding units and power-ups (called runes) to the battlefield. When a player plays a battle tile, or the board is completely filled, all units will activate in a predetermined initiative order, attacking in various directions.Each faction comes with a cheat sheet outlining the backstory and tiles available.Each turn you’ll draw three tiles, discard one, and play the other two. In addition to the units and runes you can play to the board, you can also play special action tiles that allow you to move, initiate battles, or any number of powerful abilities.The tiles available to each player varies widely based on the faction they choose to play. The Guardians of the Realm faction, for instance, is full of tough units that can survive multiple attacks and they have access to a fire concoction action tile that wounds all units in any three-hexagon cluster.The wrinkle for those with experience in Neuroshima Hex is the addition of… well, monoliths. Monoliths are essentially a vertical stack of three tiles, with your faction’s banner on top. On your turn, instead of adding anything to the board, you can unfold your monolith. The banner itself won’t move, but you can place one of the hidden tiles underneath adjacent to the banner and the other tile adjacent to the first unfolded tile. You do have to have the room to completely unfold your monolith to take that action, so if you are crowded by existing tiles, you’ll find yourself unable to spring out the surprise attack. After a battle is resolved, monoliths automatically fold back together.Play continues until a faction runs out of tiles or you’ve dealt 20 damage to an opposing banner. The surviving player (or the one with the most remaining health) is the winner.
