About this game
Chronicles of Avel puts your whole family in the boots of heroes answering the Queen's call, building a character, naming them, and packing a backpack that is never quite big enough for everything you want to carry. You wander a modular hex map that reshuffles every session, fight monsters with a handful of dice, and spend your winnings on better gear before heading back out. It leans warm and approachable rather than punishing, the kind of dungeon crawl that welcomes an eight-year-old at the table without babying the adults. Defend the castle, banish the Beast, and slowly turn a pile of starting gear into a proper hero's kit.
