Council of Shadows
Charge up your action rotors and time your strikes to power a galactic council.
Who it's for
Experienced gamers who like a medium-heavy euro with real interaction and a clever core mechanism. Best at three players.
Not for you if…
You want something light or quick to explain. The rotor timing and area fights carry genuine weight, and newcomers can feel lost in the first game.
Vibe's take
Calculating and tense, with satisfying build-up as your queued actions grow stronger. Turn-order timing creates constant standoffs over the map.

About this game
A tense sci-fi euro where four civilizations race to power a galactic council. You program your two action rotors each round, and the further you advance an action on its dial, the stronger it gets, but the longer you wait to use it. Win by being the first to complete three quantum leaps.
