Stormweavers (2016)

About this game

Stormweavers is a fast-paced card game that is fun, easy to learn, and extremely strategic. A superstorm has come to the world of Joro, threatening everything in existence. Five heroes must enter the tempest, redirect its elements, and come out on top. Only one will survive. The game can be played with 2-5 players, and takes about 45 minutes to complete. Players must collect spell cards, craft items, and betray their fellow Stormweavers in order to combat the event cards that are drawn at the beginning of each turn. The winner is the last standing player, and is declared the “Lord of the Storm".

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
