Dragons of Etchinstone: Siege

About this expansion

Dragons of Etchinstone: Siege is a solo, 60-minute board game expansion in which an Ether Mage defends the Tower from dragons and other monsters drawn to the power of The Tear.

After another seismic wave of Ether infuses the Tower’s stone with elemental magic, the academy becomes a beacon to humans, monsters, and worse. As darkness descends on Vale, the monsters of Etchinstone launch their siege, seeking control of The Tear. The fate of the realm rests on the mage’s ability to withstand the assault.

Siege introduces an expanded hand that lets players create two Action Sets per turn. New Structure Cards provide valuable abilities for the battle, adding fresh tactical possibilities to the minimalist Dragons of Etchinstone experience.

• Defend the Tower against powerful siege attacks.
• Manage an expanded hand and create two Action Sets each turn.
• Use Structure Cards to gain valuable abilities.
• Play the Return to Etchinstone variant as the monsters.

The resulting challenge demands careful hand management and brain-burning strategy. Every decision contributes to the struggle for freedom in Vale, making the siege a climactic test for even the sharpest Ether Mages.

For a different perspective, the Return to Etchinstone variant allows players to take the role of the monsters. Pursue victory at all costs and seek a way back to your lost home through the Tower’s Ether rift.

With its city-sized conflict in a pocket-sized format, Dragons of Etchinstone: Siege expands minimalist game design into an ultimate battle for the fate of Vale.
