Stwory z Obory is a board game released in 2020 for 2–5 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 13 and up. It was designed by Tomasz Bolik and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Dice Rolling.
As a peasant of unquenchable thirst for fame you embark on a quest to become the greatest Beast Slayer the world has ever seen. Why though risk your own neck? Try faking a creature’s assault on an unsuspecting village, disguising yourself as a Beast from the Barn. But always remain watchful – you’re not the only one who desires to become a famous beast slayer. Other peasants, jealous of your glory, will do what’s in their might to humiliate you and take away your fame. They will make fake quests, play filthy tricks on you, make the beasts stronger and expose your deceptions. Stwory z Obory ("Beasts from the Barn") is a dynamic card game full of negative interaction with Slavic fantasy backdrop and a humorous flair. The aim of the game is to get 7 glory points, which are received for defeating a beast or making a quest. To fight with the beast you use the bought equipment, disposable bonus cards, potions and rolls of the die. In the deck of cards you will also find events as well as special cards, which help you fight or mess with your opponents’ plans. —description from the publisher (translated)
