The Incal Infinite is a cooperative board game based on the captivating universe of the famous comic book The Incal created by Alejandro Jodorowsky and Moebius. Immerse yourself in an epic chase across planets where you must escape ruthless enemies, unravel the mysteries of the Incal, and save the galaxies. In this thrilling game, you'll embody John Difool and his companions, working together as a team to defeat the enemy who seeks to seize the Incal Lumière. The gameplay is fast-paced, the rules are simple, but the challenge is high. Only flawless cooperation can lead you to victory. The core of the game revolves around the ritual of Transfiguration, where you must reveal the Incal tokens one by one in ascending order. But beware of the sneaky attacks from the enemy, as each game introduces a different adversary with their own powers and strategies. Explore different planets aboard the Meta-ship, fulfill objectives, reveal the Incal tokens, and use the mystical light of the artifact to annihilate your opponent. Communication between players is crucial, but keep the information confidential and avoid revealing anything about the Incal tokens. The Incal Infinite offers an immersive experience thanks to Moebius' unmatched artwork, capturing the essence of the The Incal universe. Each game is unique and full of twists, providing exceptional replayability. Join this mythical quest to preserve the balance of galaxies in The Incal Infinite. Let yourself be carried away by this cooperative adventure where victory depends on your ability to work together and master the powers of the Incal. Game Features: Game Rules: The players must perform the ritual of Transfiguration by revealing the Incal tokens one by one. However, an enemy, different in each game, will use attacks and tricks to hinder this objective. Only the mystical light of the artifact will allow you to annihilate the adversary who is hot on your heels. When their turn comes, each player can either travel with the Meta-ship, skip their turn, or attempt the Transfiguration ritual. The travel phase consists of three steps: Move the Meta-ship from 1 to 6 Location tiles. Explore the location where the Meta-ship has landed. If the condition required by the Location is fulfilled, there is a Revelation: the player can secretly consult the Incal token present on that Location, then place it back without revealing or communicating the number to other players. Complete their hand by drawing cards until they have 4 cards in hand. The player who chooses to attempt the Ritual must reveal the Incal tokens of each location one by one in ascending order. If successful, the game is won for everyone! Otherwise, the game is lost. During the game, players can openly discuss the cards in their hands but must not show them to other players. It is strictly forbidden to talk about the Incal tokens, even through hints. Think you've understood the strategy ? Poor you ! The game offers 2 enemies (for now). Each one has a different gameplay mechanic. Each creature has its own powers and methods to defeat you. Therefore, in each game, you'll need to collaborate and come up with a new way to overcome the challenges.
