Inferno – The board game inspired by the Divine Comedy
With Inferno by Cranio Creations, Dante's descent into the nine circles of Hell becomes a strategic and management board game that combines a gothic atmosphere and deep mechanics. Guided by Virgil, Dante meets damned souls and sinners, and you – in the guise of a powerful Florentine family – You will have to manage the flow of souls and exploit the intrigues of 14th-century Florence.
The board is divided into the circles of Hell , where sinners are placed according to to their fate, and medieval Florence , a place of power, alliances and betrayals. Each turn alternates the infernal phase, in which the souls are advanced towards their eternal condemnation, and the urban phase, where you can adopt orphans, expand your tower, obtain favors or unmask sinners, condemning them to eternal punishment.
Why play Inferno?
- 🔥 Unique setting : experience the Divine Comedy like never before, between the damned and earthly power.

- 🏰 Two worlds intertwined : Florence's power games influence the descent into the circles of Hell.

Inferno is not just a board game: it is a journey into Dante's imagination, where every choice weighs like a sin. and every lost soul brings you closer to victory… or damnation.

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
Dante and the descent into hell
In Inferno, players become guides for damned souls, ready to be led through the nine circles of Hell. Each correctly placed soul grants infamy points, as Dante inexorably progresses on his journey to Purgatory.
Two phases, two worlds
Each turn alternates between two dimensions: in the Inferno Phase you move a soul along the infernal circles, in the Florence Phase you act in the fourteenth-century city, amidst political intrigues, powerful families and secrets that intertwine with the afterlife.
Intrigues in 14th-century Florence
In the city phase, you can adopt an orphan, build your family's tower, or forge relationships with illustrious figures. You can also choose to expose a sinner, sentencing him to death and gaining influence in the soul registry.
The weight of souls
Every sin exposed and every soul guided into the right circles strengthens your position, but also increases Dante's pace toward the gates of Purgatory. The more souls you send down, the closer you get to the end of the game.
The victory of infamy
When Dante reaches the end of his journey, the game ends. Whoever has accumulated the most infamy points wins, leaving Florence with a cursedly unforgettable reputation.

A hellish management game full of sins, souls, and power games.
Dante watches you. You assign the punishments. But Florence is your true hell.
Hell – Guide souls. Condemn sinners. Defeat power.
In the heart of medieval Florence, every sin has a price… and every soul can earn you infamy.
In Inferno , you are the puppeteer of the afterlife : between palace intrigues, corrupted souls and Dantean descents, your task is ruthless and divine.
You will manage sinners, guide damned souls through the circles, and build your power in Dante's city.
The journey isn't one of redemption: it's a descent. And only those who know how to manipulate the system will triumph in hell.
You will not atone. You will not lead. You will punish… with method and ambition.
Inferno is a strategic and narrative board game , with worker placement, resource management and advancement mechanics on multiple tracks , set between Dante's Inferno and 14th-century Florence.
Each game alternates between two distinct phases: in the Inferno Phase, you'll guide souls to the correct circles to earn infamy points; in the Florence Phase , you'll have to act cunningly between adoptions, constructions, and public condemnations.
Author Fernando Eduardo Sánchez has transformed Dante's work into a refined, deep and innovative game engine , with tense management of multipurpose cards and a fast pace until the final descent.
The Italian version by Cranio Creations makes this title a must for those looking for an advanced strategy board game with a strong literary setting .
We played it… and it made us suffer! 🐸
The atmosphere of Inferno is gut-wrenching, in a good way. Every choice weighs, every soul matters, every move in the city can shift the balance of power.
The game is complex, rich and well-layered , with two souls (one on the Afterlife board, the other on Florence) that blend together perfectly.
It's a title that requires attention and planning , but which rewards with immense satisfaction.
Recommended for the most strategic Froggers, who aren't afraid of descending into the abyss... especially if Dante leads them.
