Relic

About this board game

Relic is a 2013 adventure board game for 2–4 players, with sessions lasting about 120 minutes. Each player assumes the role of a powerful hero from the Warhammer 40,000 universe and ventures into the Antian Sector to protect it from certain doom.

Building on the foundations of the Talisman system, Relic combines straightforward movement with a wide range of possible encounters. On each turn, a player rolls a six-sided die and moves that many spaces clockwise or counter-clockwise around the region currently occupied: the outer, middle, or inner region of the board.

After moving, the player draws card or cards to discover what awaits. These encounters can pit a hero against foul enemies, dangerous locations, and fantastic strangers. Players complete missions and defeat enemies to earn rewards and experience, helping their characters grow in power as the adventure unfolds.

• Play as a powerful hero from the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
• Move through the outer, middle, and inner regions of the board.
• Draw encounter cards featuring enemies, locations, and strangers.
• Complete missions, defeat enemies, and gain rewards and experience.

Every decision carries possibilities as heroes travel toward the center of the board. The goal is to be the first to defeat whatever evil lies beyond the Warp rift, making each journey through the Antian Sector part of a race for survival and glory.
