Aetherya . German-language board game

Aetherya is a strategy board game for 1 to 4 players aged 10 and up, set in an unexplored wilderness where humans, elves, dwarves, goblins and dragons live side by side, though not always peacefully. Your task is to shape the land, write history and bring all the inhabitants of Aetherya together in harmony, while making sure your neighbouring kingdoms do not grow faster than yours.

Each player starts with a four-by-four grid of face-down cards. On every turn you draw a card and use it to replace one on your playing area. The game offers three modes, competitive, cooperative and solo, along with variants for players of different experience levels. The game ends when a player reveals the last card of their kingdom, and each card scores or costs points depending on the cards next to it.

The rulebook is written in German. A typical game lasts around 20 minutes.
