BOREAL & SOLSTIS: Dual releases in the sky!

Post by DrClick »

Two games, for 2 players, on a single day!
 
BOREAL:
"We are currently experiencing the biggest solar storm of the last 20 years," explains the European Space Agency in a message to the media. And it is time to witness the beauty of nature, through a game named Boreal, like the aurora.
 
Immerse yourself in a world where Nature has claimed what is rightfully hers, accompanying two young explorers on their adventure. Through the methodical construction of a pyramid of cards, each representing a place to be discovered, you will chart your course and carve out your destiny in this thrilling experience.
 
Boreal is more than just an ordinary card game: it offers a unique strategic experience, specially designed for two players. Excel at managing your resources and choose your card locations wisely in your pyramid to maximize your victory point harvest.
 
There is, of course, a tutorial to learn the game, and you can click the link below to discover even more information and play it!

We would love to thank Spiral Editions for the rights to bring this game to the platform, as well as the game designer Masafumi Mizuno.
Nothing would have been possible without the work done by firgon, and he deserves some love for this!
 
SOLSTIS:
"The solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice a year, when the apparent position of the sun reaches its greatest northward or southward inclination with respect to the celestial equator. This results in the longest or shortest day of the year." And it's gonna happen in a bit more than a month, on the 20th of June. And we wanted you to be prepared...
 
Prove your worth and and collect the most stars by traveling the mountain and assembling as many landscape tiles as possible, meeting the forest spirits and lighting fires on the peaks creating a path through the valley.
 
The tile capture mechanisms are taken from the hanafuda mechanisms. Collect a tile according to the column or row then place them in your landscape. The goal of the game will be to reconstruct a landscape by combining its tiles to score as many points as possible. You will have to be careful not to leave tiles to your opponent while optimizing your landscape according to your opponent's choices.
Also, create tile squares to collect spirits that will help you during or at the end of the game.
The experience is zen and very quick to set up, fun for adults and children!
 
Solstis also offers a tutorial you can play to learn, or simply dive to the game page to start a game by clicking the link below:

We would thank, as usual, the people behind the game that made it possible for you to play it online: Lumberjacks Studio, the publisher, as well as Bruno Cathala & Corentin Lebrat, the game designers.
The game has been beautifully ported to Board Game Arena by Moof and he also deserves, like all developers, some love for the work done here.

And that's it for today!
Two games on a Monday, that's the start to a great week.

Enjoy these very original and different titles, let us know which one got your favor,
and as always...
Take care and play fair!

BGA, you are spoiling us!
My backlog of "games to play" on BGA has become just as big as my backlog of physical games at home. :lol:

What kind of cheap image editing was applied on the right side of Solstis?

The Boreal tutorial linked in the news post is actually obsolete. I created another one that reflects the most recent changes to Boreal's UI.

2 player games are the most ideal game for a rematch, too bad BGA is still enforcing an ELO penalty if you play and beat the same opponent more than one time.
