Siege of Valeria (2022)

About this game

Do you have what it takes to defend Valeria? For more than a month, the monster-kin have surrounded your fortress at Valeria’s southern border with hordes of monsters and mighty engines of war. Your supplies are nearly exhausted, but you’ve rallied your soldiers and holy troops to meet the foe’s latest surge. If you cannot break the siege in seven days, your fortress will fall and the southern border will crumble. Siege of Valeria is a quick-playing survival game that tasks players with defending their castle from wave after wave of monstrous enemies. You will use cards and dice to defeat the assault and it is vital that you find clever ways to combo your powers! This game includes custom dice, and art by The Mico.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 1 player — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
