Epiko Valley

Epiko Valley immerses 2–4 players in a mythic world drawn from Indian legends, where four distinct castles—Jamvanta, Kishkindha, Jatayu, and Naga—await reconstruction. Richly illustrated terrains like Winter, Magic, Heaven, and Hell set the stage for strategic decisions tied to cultural lore, with Yama, the god of death and justice, ever-present to challenge players’ choices.

About the game

What is Epiko Valley

On each turn, players draw a strategy card, roll dice to move their avatar, and resolve the action on the tile landed upon—gaining gold, collecting life elements, or facing hazards. Simultaneously, Yama advances, creating tension that forces careful balancing of risk and reward. Collecting the five elemental tokens grants extra lives, while gold management and clever card play enable progress or defensive maneuvers. The interplay of terrain paths, resource decisions, and unpredictable card effects ensures every session unfolds differently.

Victory is achieved by completing your chosen castle puzzle or outlasting all opponents. Players must weave together tactical movement, resource management, and timely use of strategy cards to build their fortress while evading Yama’s pursuit. With its fusion of cultural storytelling and dynamic mechanics, Epiko Valley offers an engaging journey where every decision shapes a unique legend.
