Six Sided Summoner

Six Sided Summoner

From BoardGameGeek

The Six Sided Summoner is a game in which players take control of summoners who try to save the fairy world from the onslaught of mysterious shadows that appear in the land with the arrival of night and spread terror among the inhabitants of the land. To this end, players roam the world, actively expanding it with the ability to summon, meet NPCs, complete quests for them and defeat monsters. == Game Loop == During your turn, you will perform one of four actions, leading to interactions with the game world. As your adventure unfolds, you will develop your character, allowing you to take on more complex missions, discover Tori gates, and engage in epic battles against the most fearsome demons of the Yumegai world. (Boss fights are the only moments when your character can be eliminated from the game!) To win, you’ll need to earn the most glory points, defeat the boss, or achieve the scenario’s objective. == Randomness & Luck Mitigation == Adventure Decks: You will draw two cards and choose one. The card backs reveal the type of adventure, helping you plan your strategy. Fight System Based on Random Input: Dice rolls determine outcomes, but you will decide how to use the results. Will you prioritize a high-initiative attack, dealing more damage, or evading? Additionally, items in your inventory will allow you to modify these outcomes further. == Replayability == Beyond proven features like a modular map and extensive character-building options (over 20 types of equipment to customize your character), we’ve introduced a time limit that ensures you won’t fully maximize your character in one game, forcing you to make meaningful decisions. == Player Interactions == Combat is not the only form of interaction between players. On the contrary, it offers the smallest benefits and, importantly, does not lead to player elimination. More intriguing ways to hinder your opponents include toll mechanics, stealing items, and applying negative effects like poisoning. In scenarios for 2–4 players, you will experience balanced gameplay with less map congestion. In scenarios for 5–6 players, prepare for intense competition over resources and heightened tension, all while maintaining dynamic gameplay. While the game may include some cooperative elements, if you’re a fan of fully cooperative games, this might not be the right choice for you. == Scenarios == The game offers scenarios with unique victory conditions, many of which introduce new mechanics, providing a variety of experiences. The pinnacle of these is a single-player campaign. == Game Weight == We’ve created a special tutorial that takes just 15 minutes to play, smoothly introducing you to the game’s mechanics. You will find the game easy to learn, even as a new player, while still offering deep strategic complexity. Its weight is comparable to other adventure games, falling within the 2.80–3.00 range (according to the BGG scale). —description from the publisher
