Anastyr: The All-Mother's Secret is an expansion for Anastyr for 1–4 players, 90 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up.
The Primordial Jungles are home to the densest forests of Alboraan. Legend has it that this mysterious, impenetrable land was seeded from the tears of the All-Mother weeping over her people, slaughtered by dragons in ancient times. The forests are so dense that light rarely reaches the ground. An inextricable network of lianas and branches makes any progression hostile and laborious. In the shadows lurk the terrible saber-toothed tigers and immense carnivorous plants.Few are those who dare to penetrate this compact green danger zone and make contact with the fierce tribes living near the ancient temples of their ancestors. But they are also the guardians of the black lotus, a flower with extraordinary properties... The Companions of the Spear know that this flower would be an unparalleled asset in the fight against the forces of Anastyr, but this quest comes at a cost. The powerful Tanit, known as the goddess of the jungle, reigns supreme over this trade and convincing her will not be easy. In addition, the goddess who claims to be the reincarnation of the All-Mother herself is waging her own war against the tribes who refuse to join her cult, and in particular against Karanja, her main rival.
Anastyr: The All-Mother's Secret supports 1–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Anastyr: The All-Mother's Secret is 90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Anastyr: The All-Mother's Secret for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
