Description provided by Board Stupid on YouTube:
Avalon: The Riven Veil has finally arrived, and after waiting YEARS to get our hands on it, Wayne and Matt are ready to dive into this huge, gorgeous and seriously crunchy area control game from Shadowborne Games.
https://www.shadowborne-games.com/avalon
Set in the legendary world of Avalon, this is a 2–4 player game of hand management, area control, exploration, relics, beasts and some brilliantly tense push-your-luck combat.
But does all that complexity actually come together?
In this review, we take a look at how Avalon: The Riven Veil works, from its card-driven actions and mysterious map to its battles, beasts, relics and asymmetric factions. We also take a VERY close look at the incredible production, before getting into the big question...
Is Avalon: The Riven Veil a Certified Banger?
Spoiler: we think it might be one of our favourite games of the year. 👀
If you enjoy games like Blood Rage, Ankh or Rising Sun, there's plenty here that may catch your eye, but Avalon: The Riven Veil definitely has ideas of its own.
So, what do YOU think of Avalon: The Riven Veil? Let us know in the comments!
