Uncover the secrets of ancient ruins in Boreal, a strategic 2 player travel game where exploration, resource management and clever card drafting combine to create a race for forgotten knowledge. Guide two adventurous explorers through the remnants of the ancient world, seeking the discoveries that will give you the greatest insight.
 
At the heart of the game is a shared river of cards containing valuable Ruins to discover. On your turn, choose a card from the available display or reserve one for later carefully considering which discoveries your resources allow you to access. The more resources you gather, the greater your selection becomes giving you more freedom to pursue the most valuable ruins.
 
Every card added to your collection contributes towards your final knowledge, so timing each acquisition is crucial. Reserve a tempting discovery before your opponent can claim it, manage your resources carefully and then build a collection capable of generating the highest score.
 
The expedition ends when one or both players reaches 10 cards, triggering final scoring. Total the Knowledge on your discoveries then crown the explorer who has uncovered the most valuable collection of ancient secrets.
 
Due to its quick turns, accessible rules, strategic drafting and compact format, Boreal is an excellent 2 player travel board game for couples and friends who enjoys competitive card games with an exploration theme.
