Watch “Hidden danger video,” a how-to-play guide for Umbra Morfes from Antonio Lamat on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Antonio Lamat on YouTube:

Hidden Dangers are surprise challenges that erupt during crucial moments, especially in the final missions. It’s more than just a simple dice roll—it’s a test of critical, split-second thinking! You must instantly choose one of your five core Destrezas (Skills) to resolve the situation, gambling on which ability is the most optimal. Choose correctly, and you pass the test. Choose poorly—like relying on Intellect when a quick Motor Skills reaction is needed—and you will face direct consequences! This system injects suspense and critical strategic decisions into every turn. Plus, through the direct consequences revealed by these cards, you progressively uncover the lore of Universo19.

About Umbra Morfes, from BoardGameGeek:

Umbra Morfes print and play is an innovative combination of role-playing game and wargame, with solo, cooperative, and arena modes where players can compete against each other, either in teams or one-on-one. Its unique terrain creation system, based on hexagonal tiles, allows players to design dynamic, customizable maps. Additionally, the game includes cards that grant new abilities to heroes, ensuring that each adventure is completely different. The board is made of terrain tiles with hexagonal shapes. You can create many maps for every campaign and enjoy different levels and configurations of the game. How it works? Create your terrain map, choose a character meeple, and place it on the space truck tile. You'll start with basic abilities, but as you defeat creatures and gain experience, you'll unlock new skills and improve your character's stats with better modifiers. Choose from six unique heroes, each fitting different playstyles. Whether you prefer dealing heavy damage, strategic ranged attacks, healing, or tanking OBJECTIVE: Defeat the creatures and control the zone. The mission of the Taa-Lu is to seal the umbral fissures, cracks that connect to Zimi's inner layers, where the Umbra Morfes reside. Only by doing so can they create an optimal ecosystem for life, ensuring water, air, and vegetation-elements that are deadly to the Umbra Morfes. The game ends without victory if your life ponits are -3 The game ends with victory if you complete all the objectives. SOLO MODE: Play as one hero at a time, upgrading their abilities to overcome increasingly difficult obstacles. The game continues until your hero dies or seals all the Umbra Fissures. You have a total of six heroes; if you lose them all, the game ends. COOPERATIVE MULTIPLAYER MODE: Team up with friends to battle the Umbra Morfes, with one player controlling the creatures. After each level, heroes participate in an auction where they use points earned from sealing Umbra Fissures and defeating monsters to buy randomized upgrades and new abilities. ARENA MODE: Challenge other players in intense one-on-one battles, where each player chooses a hero and fights until one defeats all three of their opponent's heroes. You can also play in team mode with 2v2 or 3v3 matchups for strategic, cooperative combat. The last team standing wins. CAMPAIGN MODE: This mode will only be available if the stretch goal is reached. It includes the canonical story from the Universe19 book and a unique new chapter for this game, detailing all the events within the Umbra Fissures and expanding the lore of this world. SURVIVAL MODE: Choose a hero and four Morphosis cards. Place at least three Umbral Rifts on the map. Defeat all monsters and bosses shuffled with the other cards to win. DICE SYSTEM: The gameplay system uses an innovative set of three dice (D4, D6, D8, D12, D20) to enhance attributes such as Force, Defense, Attack Range, Movement, and Amm power, a technological magic that becomes stronger with lower-value dice. You can only use three dice at a time, but certain situations allow you to switch between them based on your needs. Additionally, a percentage system with two D10s adds another layer of strategy and customization. -description from the designer
