Stormlight: War for Roshar – The Battle for Roshar Begins! | Preview

Description provided by GAMINGTREND Tabletop on YouTube:

The storms are gathering, armies are marching, and the fate of Roshar hangs in the balance! Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/brotherwise/war-for-roshar?ref=alxmbk Welcome to Stormlight: War for Roshar, an epic asymmetric strategy board game from Brotherwise Games, designed by John D. Clair and based on Brandon Sanderson's acclaimed The Stormlight Archive series. In this preview, we're heading into the war between the Coalition of Monarchs and the forces of Odium, where victory takes more than commanding the biggest army. Choose legendary leaders, muster powerful troops, negotiate alliances with neutral nations, harness Stormlight, and battle for control of Roshar's ancient Oathgates. But here's where things get REALLY interesting... The Oathgates don't just help you move armies across the continent. They can actually change the victory threshold itself! You're not just racing toward the finish line. You're fighting over where the finish line IS! We'll explore: - The asymmetric conflict between the Coalition and Odium - Legendary leaders and their unique abilities - Action cards, Stormlight gemstones, and powerful surges - Diplomacy and the shifting allegiances of neutral nations - Armies, elite units, and the War Phase - Urithiru and the strategically important Oathgates - Highstorms, Everstorms, and the race for victory I'll also share my thoughts on the game, including my firsthand experience playing several rounds at Gen Con. Please note: This preview features prototype components and rules, which are subject to change before release. Whether you're a longtime fan of Brandon Sanderson's novels or simply love big, thematic strategy games, there's plenty here to explore! Publisher: Brotherwise Games Designer: John D.
