In Boreal, two adventurous women explore the ruins of the ancient world in search of knowledge. On their turn, players draft cards from a common river (or reserve a card) to try to get the ruins cards that bring the most knowledge. Depending on how many resources players have, they will have access to a limited number of cards, possibly all of them. After one or both players have reached ten cards, the game ends, and whoever has the most knowledge wins. -description from the publisher
Boreal has 2 videos from 2 creators: 1 review and 1 how-to-play guide. They date from 2024 to June 2025.
To learn the rules, start with "Ludochrono - Boreal - English Version" by LudovoxEN, which runs 5 min.
For an opinion before you buy, start with "Boreal I'm always up for another 2p-only game that's not another "duel"!" by Rahdo Runs Through.
If you like it, try LUNA Capital, Zooloretto, Micropolis or Ecosystem, which share several of its mechanics.
