GAME OVERVIEW
Are you ready to be a Perceiver? The future of Kalena now lies in your hands.
Your ancestors traveled far before finding the ideal place to start over.
You are Perceivers, you have the gift of seeing beyond the veil of reality.
You are the only ones who can communicate with the specters that haunt these lands.
The future of Kalena now lies in your hands.
Haunted Lands takes you into the magical world of Kalena, where the Perceivers help the inhabitants develop the city while defending it against Specters from ancient civilizations.
Haunted Lands is a competitive Euro-game for 2-4 players designed by Leonardo Romano, with beautiful illustrations and amazing meeples. Explore new lands in search of new resources to help develop your community. But beware: Specters from ancient civilizations still dwell in these places, frightening the explorers and making your buildings unusable. As Perceivers, you are the only ones who can communicate with these restless spirits, try to drive them away from these lands, and become the heroes of Kalena!
The Kalena community considers the Perceivers heroes, as they are the only ones who can interact with the Specters.
Once a Perceiver has convinced these haunting presences to leave an area, Kalena ranger teams build new structures that produce resources for the community.
Every year, during the Harvest Festival on the first day of summer, the Perceivers’ Guild rewards its bravest and most charismatic members.
The ceremony in which the Guild Master presents the chosen one with the key to the city is the festival’s most anticipated moment, so much so that it is known as the “Festival of the Perceiver”.
Players play through three seasons, each divided into three rounds, with each round consisting of one turn per player.
During their turn, each player may move across tiles to gather resources, build structures, and/or chase away Specters using the Action Tokens at their disposal. By returning to the Kalena Tile, players can sell goods in exchange for Pecunia, learn new skills, and train to increase the number of Action Tokens at their disposal.
The player with the most Valor when the game ends is the Perceiver.
