About Realm of Reckoning, from BoardGameGeek:
The realm was once a magnificent afterlife, ruled by the Queen of All Souls and held together by the Five Pillars - relics embodying the land's guiding forces. But civil war shattered the Queen, scattered the relics, and plunged the realm into ruin, leaving five warring factions vying for dominance.
Realm of Reckoning is a strategy game for 2-5 players where player choices define the scoring rules, tactical decisions, and mechanics every time you play.
Across three ages, players simultaneously draft and play cards to earn resources, deploy acolytes, and gain unique abilities. Some cards trigger reckonings - pivotal moments in which players bid to introduce one of the 19 possible scoring paths for the duration of the game.
Each reckoning shifts the importance of core gameplay mechanics, including resource accumulation, area control, set collection, and reputation advancement. At the end of the game, the nine monuments selected during reckonings award points and the player with the most points is the victor. Will your faction rise to the top and control the fate of a shattered afterlife?
