About the game

What is Path of Light and Shadow

The Realms lay divided, their former wonder lost and forgotten. The Tyrant Queen has seized the throne, forcing the rightful heirs deep into exile. You are the sons and daughters of the once-great houses: Foxway, Gorga, Mherzeen, and Spyre. Under the tutelage of advisors, you have gathered your followers, your conscripts. The time has come to take back what is yours.

Path of Light and Shadow is a massive empire-building experience, combining area control, deck management, and civilization customization. As players vie for control of The Realms, they must enlist and promote supporters, outfit their burgeoning empire with powerful technologies, align with powerful leaders, and lay siege to rival exiles after the throne. Above all else, each player must decide what type of leader they will become, cruel or merciful. But choose wisely, for each path has its rewards and perils.

EL MEJOR juego con mecánicas deckbuilding y más cosas que he probado! Reglas sencillas, pero muchas decisiones a tomar. 2 arboles de tecnologías que son la crema del juego, el propio del tablero personal de construcciones, y el propio tu mazo en sí, mejorando las cartas al subirlas de nivel. Y un sistema de combate muy bien pensado y sencillo: Al atacar vas a reducir defensas ganes o no, y si es contra un adversario, vas a sufrir también bajas como atacante. Tienes que hacer progresar tu influencia en el reino, conquistando territorios, reclutando y mejorando tus ejércitos. Puedes ser piadoso
