Fantasy Board Games That Will Take You To Whole New Worlds
These fantasy board games will have you traveling to fantastic realms, meeting mythical monsters, and maybe even raising them as your own.
Sometimes you want your board games to take you on a journey that’s not only out of this world, but out of this realm of existence. And if a little more magic and whimsy is what you’re looking for in your next game night, these fantasy board games will have you adventuring through far-off lands and meeting mythic creatures.
Mystic Vale
In Mystic Vale players are various druidic clans attempting to cleanse a curse on their land. Ridding the land of the curse will require courage and caution. But winning will require strategy and as many victory points as you can earn. It is a card-crafting game for two to four players where cards may give you powerful advantages or end your turn prematurely. Will your druidic clan be the one to save the land? Or will you let some other druids take that title?
Rebel Princess
All of your favorite legendary princesses are celebrating at a big princess-only five-day party. But now the princes want to crash the party and propose to everyone! As a strong independent princess who isn’t ready to settle down yet, your goal is to avoid the various princes charming and their marriage proposals and retain your independence after the celebration. This is a tongue-in-cheek take on the classic fairy tales in the form of a card game with unique and beautiful artwork.
Dragonkeepers
Sure, dragons usually grow up to be big and breathe fire. But before all of that they’re small and need protection. And that’s where you, the Dragonkeepers, come in. Take dragons under your protection and prove yourself the best magical shepherd around. To dragons. We all know one of the best parts of any fantasy TTRPG is trying to befriend or make a pet of a wild, dangerous beast. Now we’re bringing that energy to card games.
Explorers of the Woodlands
Unlike some of the other games, Explorers of the Woodlands is a cooperative game. This is a dungeon crawler-slash-dice game, that combines some aspects of your favorite fantasy TTRPG with a board game. Players explore a forest until they find the boss monster. Who they will, of course, have to defeat. The game comes with various missions, all with different objectives, giving it a fair amount of replayability.
Chronicles of Avel
Another cooperative board game, Chronicles of Avel has players take on the roles of brave heroes and adventurers on a mission to save their magical land. Constantly changing landscapes mean that no two games will be the same, and tactile sections for your equipment and weapons make this game even more immersive. Answer the Queen’s call, banish the monster, defend the castle, and save Avel from evil.
