🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Choose your craftsman
Each player takes on the role of a craftsman with unique skills and a distinctive profession. Character sheets tell different stories and allow players to develop their own narrative journey, creating a personal connection to the world of Splendent Vale .
2. Explore and experience the story
The game unfolds through a shared narrative book , which guides the group in their exploration choices and moral decisions. Each game becomes a chapter in a cooperative campaign full of twists, discoveries, and branching paths.
3. Face tactical challenges on the map
When the story requires it, the action moves to grid-based maps : here, players move their characters, use their crafting skills, and coordinate their moves to overcome enemies, puzzles, or environmental obstacles. Collaboration is vital.
4. Create and improve with the Artifice
Meteorites falling into the valley release the mysterious material , with which artisans create magical works called Artifice. These artifacts empower the party and open up new strategic possibilities, transforming every challenge into a creative laboratory.
5. Alternate group play and personal interludes
After the shared scenes, each craftsman experiences individual interludes , dedicated narrative moments that enrich their character's growth. Here, personal choices have real weight, and the craftsman's evolution intertwines their story with that of the company.
