THE WAR STRATEGY GAME

FOR ADVENTURERS

almost 40 years in the making

SUMMON GUARDIANS

Summon Guardians is a multiplayer board game that combines the spirit of fantasy and adventure with strategic castle warfare. Players join an epic, centuries-old war over the Wastelands, in the realm of Quadrenna.

Gameplay

The four Kingdoms are at war over the Wastelands and its Red Jewel Platform, and whoever controls the Wastelands wins. There are two ways to take control: Rule over Quadrenna by eliminating the competition, or win by Wasteland Ownership, claiming the Red Jewel Platform directly with 5 Red Jewels. A rival Kingdom is knocked out when its King falls (Castle Conquest) or its last Guardian falls (Field Conquest).

The war within the game takes place over a series of turn cycles, or Days. Each turn consists of 3 phases, in this order: Move, Card, and Action. Both Guardians act during each phase, exploring, fighting, casting spells, and adventuring to help their Kingdoms toward victory.
