Wander: The Cult of Barnacle Bay

A cooperative, campaign-driven miniatures game in which five guild heroes attempt to free a fishing town from a cult mutated by dark magic. Players choose a hero, equip starting gear on a player dashboard, and use action points to move and attack across modular maps laid out per the campaign book. Defeating enemies and resolving random encounters grants experience and persistent loot that upgrade heroes between and during adventures. Enemies operate via a simple line-of-sight AI and automatically hit when able; heroes roll custom dice to attack and to defend against incoming wounds. A double-sided upgrade tree lets players experiment with different skill paths as the campaign progresses.
