The Hidden Territories world of Westri, with an adventurer overlooking a hex-mapped realm of castles, ruins, mountains, dragons and sea routes.

Crowdfunding preview

The Hidden Territories:
Special Edition

A solo and cooperative fantasy adventure board game of hexcrawling, quests, factions and emergent story in the Kingdom of Westri.

Coming first to Kickstarter. Later campaign and late-pledge availability may follow through Gamefound or Indiegogo.

You are adventurers

Explore dangerous places. Make choices. The world reacts and remembers.

The Hidden Territories is a rules-complete, system-led fantasy adventure board game for one to four players. You cross a vast hex map, commit Attribute dice to Actions, resolve Encounters and branching entries in the Tome of Twistime, and leave visible consequences behind in the world.

The Hidden Territories: Game Overview

The Hidden Territories prototype spread across a table, including the Westri map, trackers, cards, dice and game box.

The game

A complete fantasy adventure system in one box.

Travel across Westri, follow rumours, discover Landmarks, confront Denizens, meet named Strangers and become entangled in pressures already moving through the kingdom.

There is no Game Master and no scripted route. Action Cards, committed Attribute dice, 2d6 tables, cards, Conditions and the core components resolve play.
