Aberration

About this board game

Aberration is a cooperative tower defense board game for 1–4 players, with games lasting around 90 minutes. In a world veiled in darkness, you must defend your village as shadows, aberrations, and a tainted forest close in.

This dark fantasy experience combines horror and survival with worker placement, bag building, asymmetric player powers, and a fog-of-war system. Shadow and light intertwine as hidden dangers remain concealed, making every decision part of an unfolding nightmare.

The forest is not a static backdrop. Under the influence of The Great Beast, it becomes corrupted throughout the game, creating a unique and changing landscape in every playthrough. As the map is engulfed, the threat continues to develop around you.

• Cooperative tower defense for 1–4 players
• Worker placement and bag-building mechanics
• Asymmetric player powers
• Fog of war that conceals the truth and lurking terrors
• A corrupted landscape that unfolds during play

Power does not come without consequences. The forest’s essence transforms, and players and enemies alike ascend toward newfound strength. In Aberration, survival means facing an enemy and environment that are changing as quickly as the night advances.

Created with veteran designer Peter Lee—known for Lords of Waterdeep, Horrified, and Tyrants of the Underdark—this is a tense journey into a realm where your village stands as the last defense. Join forces, confront the darkness, and discover whether you can survive the night.
