Aethermon: Collect (2023)

About this game

Join Rika, Haru, BEB0 and Followoof, four lost souls who have come together to explore the World of Aethermon! Aethermon: Collect is a quick to play, 2-4 player set-collection game with both co-operative and competitive game modes. Players take turns to move the shared Group Token horizontally or vertically around a grid of Aethermon cards, collecting any Aethermon on which they land. Co-operative mode invites players to work together in order to solve the unique puzzle presented by the board. Competitive mode introduces powerful, rule-bending artefacts to out-wit opponents with one-time-only changes to movement or gameplay. Featuring 48 beautifully-illustrated Aethermon creatures - discover their rich lore on the back of each card. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
