Reviews of Dawn of Ulos

"This is an excellent economic game!"

Rolling Dice & Taking Names
Tony McRee

"It's the grimiest, most savage game I've played in a long time and that's what makes it wonderful!"

3 Minute Board Games
Jarrod Carmichael

"it’s a surprise hit, a stock game that pulls new tricks with the format, a tile-layer that draws inspiration from the greats, and a contest that’s oh so perfectly nasty."

Space-Biff!
Dan Thurot

"I really, really liked it! This really reminded of Acquire and I like the magical, fantasy theme abilities applied onto it."

How to Play

1) Place terrain tiles

Expand the influence of rival factions on a map. Choose to develop existing territories or establish new ones and collect valuable rewards.

2) Acquire cards

As new territories emerge, factions lay claim to available land. Invest in factions after they first enter the map or pay a premium after their influence grows.

3) Manipulate factions

Influence the rise and fall of factions by secretly contributing cards to conflicts.

Pit armies against each other by connecting territories together and then watch the losing faction disappear from the map! Factions with bigger territories have an advantage, but players can swing the battle by playing faction cards.

4) Earn Favor

Choose wisely whether to redeem your cards early or hold them until the end.

Play cards when factions are stronger for better rewards. If a faction loses in conflict, its value drops to almost nothing, but the end game bonuses for the strongest factions are legendary!
