About this game

Hyperborea builds a fantasy civilization game around a bag full of your own crystals, literally: you draw resources blind from a pouch you have been stocking all game, and what comes out decides what you can actually do that turn. Explore the hex-based ruins of a shattered magical empire, expand your realm, and fight for area control, all while your bag-building engine either sings or sputters depending on how well you balanced it earlier. It is a meaty, modular civilization builder where the randomness of the draw is exactly the risk you signed up to manage.
