Hyperborea: Light & Shadow

About this expansion

Hyperborea: Light & Shadow is a board game for 2–6 players with an approximately 180-minute play time, set in a world still recovering from the fall of its magic barrier.

Years after the rediscovery of Hyperborea’s heart, the six nations remain at war. Each faction seeks more powerful weapons, searching the ancient crypts for secrets left behind by the lost civilization that once ruled the land.

Shortly before their sudden destruction, the ancient mages poured their souls into magical objects of immense power. The evil souls became Black Soul Cubes, while the good souls became White Soul Cubes. These souls were hidden in sacred arcs known as Relics, objects that could not be controlled by others.

In Hyperborea: Light & Shadow, the powerful Relics now provide enormous knowledge and powers, while the Soul Cubes have fallen into the hands of the six factions. Their presence gives the conflict a deeper meaning: the future of the realms may be shaped by the forces of conquest or by the promise of wisdom and prosperity.

• Six factions: The nations of Hyperborea continue their struggle for dominance.
• Powerful Relics: Sacred objects preserve the knowledge and powers of the lost civilization.
• White and Black Soul Cubes: The remnants of good and evil mages now influence the fate of the realms.

Will humanity’s destiny be dominated by war, or can wisdom and prosperity prevail? Discover the ancient legacy at the heart of this 2016 release and decide what future awaits Hyperborea.
