Yafsigais a diceless skirmish game for two players designed to utilize a single deck of poker cards to generate thrilling, tactical skirmishes between warbands in the remains of a once-great kingdom. Players will utilize face cards to facilitate activation of their units and use the numbered cards of the chaos deck to cinch the successes they need to triumph over their opponents. A bespoke scenario generator caps off the experience, thrusting both players into the maw of danger as their warband is forced to adapt to the changing landscape of the Bloomsreach.

Each player has the complete freedom to build the warband of their imagination usingYafsiga’s roster system. Blending the line between Wargame and Roleplaying Game, players will stat out their profiles with as many bonuses they can afford and weapons they can muster. This is the Bloomsreach, after all. Your warband will need all the help they can get.

After you’ve played standalone games with friends and foes alike, dive into narrative play withYafsiga’s campaign system, offering points of origin and motives for your warbands with unique reward and injury tables and memorable merchants to visit between skirmishes. Play a simple three-act arc in a day, or prolong your campaigns into a larger narrative with your friends as your warbands grow in renown across the Bloomsreach and beyond.

Description

Dire Fantasy Skirmishes in a Dwindling Age

A once-prosperous kingdom vanishes overnight leaving behind only silent, overgrown ruins and an iridescent aurora that corrupts and twists all it touches.

The embattled denizens of neighboring nations now thrown into disarray seek to venture into this strange new territory, hoping to eke out a profit by plundering priceless relics from the remains of the kingdom.

In this skirmish-scale wargame players build warbands to face their rivals in combat, aiming to secure treasure, knowledge, and territory in this perilous no-mans land.

Should they prove successful, the spoils of victory and great renown await them upon their return from this perilous deathtrap now known as the Bloomsreach.

Whether you are a seasoned wargaming veteran or a newcomer to the hobby, Yafsiga offers a fresh new experience for everyone.

This includes a diceless method for resolving combat, a unique and flavorful method for quickly building your forces from the ground up, and a bespoke scenario generator to ensure no two games of Yafsiga are ever the same.
