Long ago, the leviathans lost their minds and tore our world apart. After generations of struggle, we learned to heal them...
Leviathan Wilds is a 1-4 player boss-battling board game about climbing and saving massive creatures. Using a spiral-bound scenario book, players climb, jump, and glide throughout 17 vibrant leviathans, each with its own map and special rules. Each scenario lasts around 45 minutes, with tougher difficulty levels also available for added replayability.
The Founders Edition includes:
- Leviathan Wilds Core Game
- Leviathan Wilds: Mutation Pack
- Leviathan Wilds: Wood Token Set
- All other stretch goals and bonuses from the first printing
*See the original Kickstarter page for more information.
HOW TO PLAY
Each character's deck of multi-use cards is unique, allowing them to climb, jump, and glide around the board in different ways. The number of cards left in the slim deck represents their grip on the leviathan's body; if the deck runs out, the player loses their grip and begins to fall down the board until they're able to reach a rest space, which resets their deck. Moving onto rest spaces also provides a way to regain one's grip without falling. Other spaces reduce a character's health or grip or they increase blight, a status that reduces their overall hit points.
The leviathan has its own deck of cards, which triggers various effects at the beginning of a player's turn, from targeted attacks that reduce health to effects that move players between spaces or loosen their grip. As the game progresses, the leviathan gradually gains "rage", which intensifies the effect of its event cards.
Players' characters can move around a square grid overlaid on the creature's body by spending action points — the number being determined by a card played at the start of their turn — and their remaining hand of ability cards to reach the crystals and reduce them to zero. Victory is achieved by reducing all crystals, which vary in strength, to zero.
