Realm of Reckoning

Draft, bid and win reckonings to decide what victory in the realm even means.

A faction game set in a shattered afterlife where the cards you draft can trigger reckonings, and whoever wins those sealed-bid struggles gets to define how victory itself is measured.

Who it's for

Groups who want a meaty area majority game where the scoring rules are themselves the main battleground.

Not for you if…

You want stable, knowable goals from the first turn, or a two hour faction brawl is more than your table wants to commit to.

Vibe's take

Tense and political – the board keeps building while the goalposts move, so every reckoning feels like a referendum on everyone else's strategy.
