Armello 2016
Armello is an adventure strategy board game that combines RPG elements with the strategic play of card and board games, creating a story-fuelled experience. You play as a hero from one of four animal clans: Rat, Rabbit, Bear or Wolf. Players navigate their fully animated 3D character across the board as they scheme, explore, vanquish monsters, perform the Mad King's royal edicts, and face off against other players, with one ultimate goal in mind - storming the palace and becoming King or Queen of Armello.
