Vindication

About this board game

Vindication is a highly strategic fantasy tabletop journey for 2–5 players, with a listed play time of 150 minutes and an official estimate of 15–30 minutes per player. Cast overboard and stranded on a hostile island, you begin with nothing but the breath in your lungs and an undaunted spirit.

Explore shifting ruins through advanced resource management, area control tactics, and freeform action selection. On each turn, you may perform three actions in whatever order best suits your plans: activate a companion, travel to a new location, and interact with a map tile.

Many actions require influence, which you use to gain attributes through the game’s distinctive heroic attribute alchemy system. Gather individual attributes and combine them into more powerful qualities: meditate at a spire to gain inspiration, train at a fort to gain strength, then unite inspired strength into courage to perform a bounty hunt.

• Add companions to your party and discover over 72 unique card abilities.
• Acquire bizarre relics and attain potent character traits.
• Defeat unusual monsters while pursuing mastery of heroic attributes.
• Control areas and adapt to fresh tile placement in every game.

Card abilities can be merged in unusual ways, creating potent combinations and rewarding inventive planning. Distinctive end-game triggers can also be affected through gameplay, giving your decisions lasting importance as the adventure progresses.

With its evolving map, flexible turns, and interconnected attribute system, Vindication offers high replayability and a strategic path from dishonor toward becoming a hero.
