Armello is a grim fairy-tale board game come to life, with every match combining deep, tactical card play, rich tabletop strategy and RPG elements. Leverage subterfuge, spells and careful strategy to wrangle control of the game's chaotic odds as you quest for the throne.
As a hero from one of the clans, you'll have multiple ways to claim the throne. You can gain the most prestige by completing quests, killing rivals, and other feats. Alternatively, you can collect four Spirit Stones to banish the corrupted king, or slay him directly in combat. The most devious path is to become more corrupted by the Rot than the king, and then take his life.
Each turn, you'll draw from decks of Items, Spells, and Trickery cards. These provide a wide array of offensive, defensive, and supportive abilities. Carefully managing your hand and playing the right cards at the right time is crucial to executing successful strategies.
The game board consists of a hex-based grid, with each tile presenting different terrain, features, and encounters. You'll need to strategically move your hero, taking advantage of the day/night cycle and special tile effects to position yourself advantageously.
Resolving combat involves rolling dice, with your hero's Fight stat and various card effects modifying the outcome. This dice-based mechanic adds an element of luck and uncertainty, which you must learn to mitigate through smart planning and ability utilization.
Each playable character has unique abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. As you progress, you can upgrade your hero's attributes, equip powerful items and followers, and further specialize your playstyle to suit your preferred tactics.
Armello is primarily designed for multiplayer, with up to four players vying for the throne. The game's mechanics encourage player interaction, from forming alliances to betraying rivals, adding an engaging social dimension to the strategic gameplay.
