The Arrival*

In a long-forgotten time, the cruel Fomori rule over Érin, the green island, under the iron fist of their king, Balor. Players take on the role of tribal leaders striving for dominance and attempting to push back the demon-like Fomori while balancing the risks of corruption from rapid expansion. The game unfolds over 4-6 rounds, where players strategically choose resources and actions to earn glory points, culminating in a victory based on its final state—who controls more locations: the tribes or the Fomori?
