Valpiedra: Descensus ad tenebras

Valpiedra: Descensus ad tenebras

2025·Leandro Félix

1 - 4 players
40 - 60 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Valpiedra is a cooperative adventure and tactical combat game set in a cursed village overrun by demonic creatures emerging from an infernal rift. From 1 to 4 players take on the role of heroes descending into the catacombs to retrieve a sacred relic and seal the portal to hell before the world is lost. Throughout the game, the group will explore levels filled with enemies, make critical decisions, and carefully manage their health, equipment, and resources. Combat is resolved with dice and unique hero abilities, as players face creatures that evolve, summon reinforcements, or bend the rules of the game. The goal: descend to the depths, recover the relic, and ascend before corruption or death consumes you. Valpiedra offers constant tension and high replayability through creature cards, optional modes, and random events. Will you dare to go down… and return?
