"9.8/10 - This game is fantastic."

This game is fantastic. The story is great. I am thoroughly enjoying getting together with my group and playing as these great characters.

"10/10 - Unique ...narrative focus"

The most unique factors are the theme, heavy narrative focus, and open character progression. Bonus points for fast setup/takedown compared to other dungeon crawlers.

"10/10 - ...a treat for connoisseurs."

Chronicles of Middara is a comprehensive game for all lovers of heavy adventure. In fact, nothing you can think of is missing in the box, ranging from a lot of miniatures to a huge flood of cards and a stunning book of stories. ...Chronicles of Middara is a treat for connoisseurs."

"10/10 - it was worth the wait."

I Kickstarted this game and waited years for it, it was worth the wait. The depth of story really pulls you into these characters and the combat system is one my favorites ever.

Core Games represent the foundation for a new Adventure in the Middara universe.

They are the beginning of an Adventure and provide the components for both the story they are telling and many other expansions we plan on releasing in the future.

A Core Game will always have the title of the Adventure associated with it and the Icon that represents both the product and the Adventure within it.

FOR EXample:
Unintentional Malum: Act 1 is a “Core Game”.

Its Adventure, Unintentional Malum, uses the above set icon to represent it. This is also the same icon that can be found on the front of its corresponding Adventure Books.

Core Games are required to use every other type of product on this list.

Adventure Pack Expansions

Adventure Packs add new Adventures that players can choose when starting the Adventure Mode.

These brand fresh stories explore all the narrative moments that lie on the periphery of our overarching adventures found in Core Games. Adventure Packs chronicle the machinations happening behind the scenes of our longer stories.

Adventure Packs let players delve deeper into characters and moments and give them a glimpse of the cogs that move and click our meta-plot forward.

In game terms, an Adventure Pack is a brand new Adventure that isn’t as long as a Core Game. This means they require additional content to play (usually a Core Game and/or its expansions).

Adventure Packs have rules for starting a new game with a predetermined cast of characters, new tiles, new items, new Combatants, and new allies. They follow the story of these other characters as they progress through the world of Middara.

Adventure Packs may be sold as one or more parts. They are meant to be played chronologically starting from their first part. In all cases, Adventure Packs will list how many parts exist to conclude their story.

Adventure Packs always require the previous Adventure Pack in its set to play. For example: you cannot play Pirates of Elenia: Part 2 without also owning and playing Pirates of Elenia: Part 1.

Micro Adventures

A Micro Adventure fills a similar role as an Adventure Pack. However, they’re intended to rely on content from a Core Game and its Expansions.

Where an Adventure Pack might contain new miniatures, Combatants, Adventurers, punchboards, and even new tiles, Micro Adventures typically only come as a booklet. This means that our Micro Adventures contain fewer encounters, but plenty of narrative.

Micro Adventures are one part and may be designed for player counts not seen in core products and Adventure Packs.

For example: Trail of a Princess: An Opportune Tip is for one or two players.

Micro Adventures have a strong focus and are intended to fill the narrative gaps of our larger stories. Their reliance on narrative gives them an intimate glimpse into Middara and makes them great reading material!

Micro Adventures include:

Trail of a Princess : An Opportune Tip $20 USD
210mm x 297mm x 10mm | 0.45kg

*requires Middara: Unintentional Malum - Act 1 to play

Bounty Packs

Bounty Packs explore the milieu of Middara by providing players a glimpse into the ecology of horrific and dangerous monsters that inhabit a specific region.

Alongside a set of new encounters, players can embark on Bounties to experience new monsters, unlock new content, and test their builds against some of the hardest encounters for their Loot Level.

Bounty Packs include:

Bounties of Elenia: The Cave Sickle Queen $50 USD
343mm x 257mm x 60mm | 1.80kg

CONSEQUENCES AND NARRATIVE

Middara Unintentional Malum spreads its wings in Act 2 and Act 3. Here, players will see the ramifications of their choices, performance, and ultimately determine the fate of Nightingale and those she cares about.

The Middle Passage Tiles

We pride ourselves on original monsters created for original locations within the world of Middara. In Act 2 and 3, you’ll battle across 14 new locations populated by new monsters, new tokens, and tons of new artwork!

The Oppressor and The Lava Pits

Our new sheet sized tiles allow for unique locations with a strong narrative purpose. Each one represents an important place required for our story to unfold. Some are visited often, some are rarer, but all of them are used under circumstances that build tension and atmosphere.

Encounters in Act 2 and 3 feature more exciting narrative moments, more opportunities for character growth, and more ramifications to our story directly from within the encounter itself.
