About this board game
Solomon Kane is a cooperative narrative adventure board game for 1–5 players, with sessions lasting around 120 minutes. Players become the invisible powers of good and light, guiding the Puritan avenger through dangerous quests against the forces of Darkness.
Each player takes the role of one of the four Cardinal Virtues: Courage, Prudence, Temperance, or Justice. Every Virtue has special powers reflecting its unique role, while custom card decks and dice help players control Solomon Kane and his allies, explore locations, fight enemies, gather information, and manage the challenges facing the quest.
- Storytelling: Follow tales inspired by Robert E. Howard, including Rattle of Bones, Skulls in the Stars, and Blue Flame of Vengeance.
- Tactical play: Move exceptional miniatures around the board, confront enemies, and intervene directly when the odds turn against Solomon Kane.
- Branching adventures: Chapters offer story choices and multiple possible outcomes, supporting replayable versions of each tale.
Each story is divided into one or more Acts, and every Act forms a complete game session. An Act contains 8–10 Chapters, combining narrative decisions with action on the game board; shorter stories may finish in one session, while longer tales unfold across several.
Opposing the players is the Darkness, a twisted reflection of the Virtues. Its AI deck directs enemy miniatures, disrupts carefully made plans, and pushes the story toward an evil direction. Through its combination of immersive storytelling, resource management, and tactical miniatures play, Solomon Kane offers a distinctive cooperative adventure with abundant replayability.
