About the game
Caledea is a semi-abstract turn-based war game for two or more players. Players choose from nine different kingdoms, each with a unique playing style and special power. Games can be played on a single board or multiple boards placed together depending on the length and intensity of play desired. Combat is resolved by a quick and intuitive dice system. To win, a player must capture their opponent's capital, destroy all of their units, or be the first to complete a fortified city. A successful player must be able to constantly adjust their strategy in a quickly changing tactical environment. No two games will be the same!
