About this board game
Storm Weavers is a solo adventure game for one player, with an approximately 360-minute play time, combining a classic gamebook with tactical combat on the board. You take the role of a dwarven warrior journeying across Midgard to find and rescue a friend.
Your travels unfold through a branching story. Read each situation in the book, choose an action, and follow the resulting section as you explore locations, draw the map, resolve quests, and face the consequences of your decisions. The world may bring encounters with orcs, goblins, wolves, ice giants, gods, wizards, merchants, and many other people.
Storm Weavers uses two six-sided dice for challenges. When confronted by a difficult situation, you roll against one of your attributes, with the result directing you to the appropriate story section. The adventure also gives you opportunities to increase your statistics as your character develops.
When enemies block your path, the game shifts to tactical battles played on one of nine battle maps, using miniatures and dice. Thymin moves and attacks first, followed by each enemy. The difference between the attacker’s and defender’s attributes affects both the chance to hit and the amount of damage dealt.
