Taelmoor

Step into a world of swords and sorcery with your friends. In Taelmoor you travel together through dark dungeons, solve riddles and live through a story that unfolds step by step. The game combines real game boards, cards and miniatures with an app on your phone. You scan a card and the game does the rest. That way you all stay focused on the adventure itself instead of thick rulebooks. At the start you pick your own character, for example a wizard or a rogue, and join the game with your phone. You take turns exploring the world. New rooms appear as you move on, and something different waits everywhere: characters to talk to, puzzles to crack or a fight to win. The app tells the story to everyone at the same time, but the nicest part is still reading the new pieces out loud at the table. In battles you build your own set of cards that suits your character. Every class has its own strengths and weaknesses, and teamwork pays off: many attacks become stronger when you combine them with your fellow players. So you are constantly discussing who does what. One story takes about an hour and a half to play, and some adventures are so big that you spread them over several evenings.
