Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria

Players take the role of rival Wardens leading monstrous factions to reclaim lands from encroaching humans, elves, and dwarves. On a turn, a Warden moves to a new location and, when entering one of five Shrines, takes an available die and resolves that Shrine's action to gain minions, magic, gems, or gold. Dice represent five troop types and are placed on player boards to fuel battle plans. Players send minion dice to resolve combats, conquer territories, and place Victory tokens on campaign boards. The game ends after a set number of turns or campaigns, and the player with the most Victory Points wins.
