Tibetana (2024)

In Tibetana, you collect energy from the territories to erect new settlements, react to the effects of the unstable deities, and pressure the adversary to hinder their growth. The goal is to build three five-story pagodas on a hex-shaped board with different territories representing the lands of Tibetan mythology before your opponent can do so. Your faction is made of channelers, which extract energy from the territories and build new pagoda stories, and sentinels, which protect your channeler and restrict those of the enemy. On your turn, you can perform up to three actions: move your figures, train new ones, relocate magic portals, devote energy to building pagoda stories, and so on. Extracting this energy may wake ancient demons: neutral deities that can influence and be influenced by any of the players once they're woken. However, their rule-bending effects may disrupt your plans, and as the game progresses, they become more and more powerful. The demons featured in the Tibetana base game are: Chemchog: the channelers' horror Citipati: the death dancer Kuberan: the heist Kurukulla: the thousand faces Mahakala: the occupier
