Winds of Numa Sera is a board game released in 2025 for 3–4 players, 90–120 minutes per game, and ages 14 and up. It was designed by Morgan Rosenblum and Jonny Handler and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Take That.
A Kingdom-Building Strategy Board Game for 3-4 players that shares the same world and characters as the acclaimed graphic novel from Dark Horse. Each player controls a different asymmetric kingdom that comes with a trio of unique heroes to play as and customize. There are four distinct paths to victory, and whoever is first to achieve any 2 of them, wins the game. Vast, beautiful, and dangerous, the world of Ethera is full of unique cultures and kingdoms all vying for control of the landscape. From the ordained bloodline of Numa Sera to the valiant knights of Dena Vale, the majestic “cat people” of Meran, and the pillaging hordes of Siaa De’e, each force will stop at nothing to advance its power. As the leader of your people, your goal is to amass resources and create the most powerful kingdom in all of Ethera so your name will be remembered long after you are gone. There are several ways to achieve this: by conquering strongholds, slaying your opponents’ heroes, mastering skills, or earning new class titles. You can rule benevolently, cruelly, or anything in between. The choice is yours. Whichever path you take, you will need to acquire assets to advance your heroes and grow your kingdom. Through exploration of Ethera’s many distinct environments, you will uncover rare items and enlist new allies to assist in your campaign. But exploration also has its risks: Ethera is a dangerous place, full of ancient secrets and hidden obstacles. So be ever vigilant… The winds of Numa Sera are blowing. —description from the publisher
