Based on the Red Rising Book Series: Enter the futuristic universe of Red Rising, based on the exciting book series by Pierce Brown featuring a dystopian society divided into fourteen castes. You represent a house attempting to rise to power as you piece together an assortment of followers (represented by your hand of cards). Will you break the chains of the Society or embrace the dominance of the Golds? Gameplay: Start with a hand of 5 cards, and on your turn, deploy 1 of those cards to a location on the board, activating that card’s deploy benefit. Gain the top card from another location or the deck, gaining that location's benefit and adding the card to your hand as you enhance your end-game point total. When the game ends, the cards left in your hand are what you score, making each card you play a difficult balance between victory points at the end and immediate benefits. High Replayability: Red Rising includes 112 unique character cards and 6 different asymmetric House tiles. There are also many different routes to victory, which means that this game provides endless opportunities for combos. No Book Spoilers: Lots of easter eggs to explore and attention to detail. Knowledge of the books heightens your enjoyment, but it is not necessary to love the game. Beautifully Designed and Illustrated: Designed by Alexander Schmidt and Jamey Stegmaier (Scythe). Illustrated by Miles Bensky (Rolling Realms), Jacqui Davis (Viticulture), and Justin Wong. For families, solo gamers, and game groups alike: This hand management and set collection strategy game for 1-6 players has a 45-60 minute playing time with only a 5 minute setup time. Great game for couples, solo gamers, 2 players, family, and friends. Red Rising was heavily inspired by the game Fantasy Realms. Easy to learn, hard to master! Solo Play: Features an Automa to play against in a 1-player game for a fun solitaire experience. The Automa simulates an opponent for you to compete against, while your game as a player remains the same. On the Automa’s turn, flip a card to see what action it takes. Thematically Designed Mechanisms: Rich relationships between the card identities, the themes, and the mechanisms. The way the character abilities work matches the specific character from the book series. Some characters pair well with others, while some lose points if paired up with specific other characters or factions.
