The Spirit of Eden (2022)

About this game

Eden is a large territory where majestic flora and fauna thrive. King Asmoth, who holds countless lands under his control, has decided to send Goomz to invade Eden, but he seems unaware that it is a sacred land, defended by a protective spirit: Noa. With the support of his allies (flora, fauna and water), Noa will defeat the invader and make him understand that he will never give up her home. The spirit of Eden is a dice game, accompanied by some cards. The player's objective is to repel the Goomz who want to invade Eden. Roll the dice, then choose actions like “pushing back” “attracting” or “trapping” the goomz. Be careful, the Goomz will ravage the "grounds". Stay focused and don't get overwhelmed. —description from the publisher L’Eden est un large territoire où prospèrent une faune et une flore majestueuse. Le roi Asmoth, qui détient sous son emprise d'innombrables contrées, a décidé d’envoyer des Goomz pour envahir l’Eden, mais il semble ignorer qu'il s'agit d'une terre sacrée, défendue par un esprit protecteur : Noa.

The spirit of Eden est un jeu de dés, accompagné de quelques cartes. L’objectif du joueur est de repousser les Goomz qui veulent envahir et détruire l’Eden. Lancez les dés, puis choisissez des actions comme "repousser" "attirer" ou "pieger" les goomz. Attention, les Goomz vont ravager les "terrains" de l'Eden. Restez concentrer et ne vous laissez pas déborder. —description from the publisher (French)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
