Full publisher description

Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread is an open world, campaign-based, co-operative, fantasy-based, green legacy role-playing board game. The game of Arydia is built on four design pillars: Exploration, Progression, Combat, and Role-playing. Exploration Make your way across the world map, discovering new locations, interacting with memorable characters, fighting vicious monsters, and scavenging long-lost treasures. The world pulls you in through detailed descriptions and artwork for each place you visit. Every location is unique, not randomized, and is built piece by piece as you explore. Progression Arydia is played as a campaign over the course of a number of game sessions; you start each session right where you left off! As you play, the game keeps track of your actions and decisions. Your characters will grow in power, collecting new items, weapons, and skills. NPCs and locations will change, depending on how you interact with them. All of this progression is done using a simple, but powerful, index system, which allows for quick and easy set-up and tear down. Combat Arydia features a tactical, co-operative combat system. Enemies are controlled by game cards and dice, while you and your companions work together to defeat them. Role-playing Take on the roles of a wide cast of characters as you encounter them throughout your journeys. The incentive-based role-play system encourages you to engage in dramatic storytelling, without being intrusive. As a green legacy game, Arydia features all the hallmarks of a legacy game packages to open, hidden information, progression, discovery, exploration but allows you to reset the game when you have completed it so that you can start again or pass it on to someone else.
