Basic Info:

1. The core box has all you need to play.

The basic box has all the materials you are going to need during the game. The 8 character miniatures (in preassembled plastic) with their initiative cards, 3 booklets (Access Guide to the Human Sphere, where the background of the game is revealed, How to Play with all the rules, and the Quick Reference Guide, which makes looking for concrete rules quicker), 52 tactical cards with amazing art, a two-sided board representing the HexaDome, dice, markers, and tokens.

2. Tactical Depth

Aristeia! is not just another board game. Apart from being set in an incredible universe (Infinity’s Human Sphere), it has a different approach to tabletop gaming. Not only you will be in the shoes of a high-level trainer and make a competitive team that combines different skills, you will also have to take your rival’s strategies into consideration.

The objective of Aristeia! is to score in the scoring zones, and because of this, you get a wider array of tactical options: aggressive? Defensive? Speed and control? Field presence and combat? The possibilities are endless.

To all of this, you add the tactical cards and their effects on the table. The Aristos (Aristeia! characters) not only have their signature skills, they also have a number of tactical cards that can be game changing.

3. Spectacle

Aristeia! is pure spectacle. It is, after all, the sport of the future. Care has been taken with the game aesthetics to the smallest detail. All the characters have a different personality reflected in the miniature since its conception.

4. Balance

At Corvus Belli, we had a clear goal for Aristeia! We wanted to offer the highest level of competitiveness possible, and we did it! The game isn’t decided in the first turns; you will have to play until the end—always. No matter how under you are on the score, there’s always a chance for a comeback. A good strategy can bring you victory.

5. CB’s support

We think that we have a big game here, and we want you to play it all the way. For this Corvus Belli has developed some extras so the game can be even greater.

Aristeia! will have its own website with its own content. We think that a game like this needs all the communication space it can get. Apart from finding the basic rules of the game (tutorials, how to play, downloadable content…), you will also find an exclusive narrative space where you can enjoy the true future sport.

Also, Corvus Belli will promote a competitive game system: the AGL (Aristeia! Global League!), completely independent with its own support during the season.
