Agemonia: Storytelling Meets Cooperation in a Big Way
Tough choices, epic adventures, true cooperation.
Agemonia has finally arrived on BoardHouse and, after several hours of playing with friends (and some solitary night time, we admit), we can say it: this title is a deep, ambitious and surprisingly accessible narrative experience.
🌍 A living, rich and… changing world
Agemonia is set in an original and detailed fantasy world, shaped by social tensions, environmental crises and arcane forces in turmoil. Don't expect the usual story of elves and dwarves: here we find ourselves in a new setting, with new races, complex cultures and a mission system that really evolves based on our choices.
The real strength? The quest book , which acts as a narrative guide and map, but also as a moral arbiter. The choices you make are never trivial and change the course of the story… sometimes brutally.
🤝 Cooperation, but without the leader effect
Agemonia is a cooperative game for 1-4 players, which tries (and succeeds) to avoid the alpha-player effect . Each character has unique abilities, tactical choices, and a voice in collective decisions. The scenario system will often present you with moral dilemmas, and the fact that each player must also manage the personal development of their hero creates a nice balance between “shared story” and “individual journey”.
🎲 Gameplay: lean but deep
The system is surprisingly fluid for such a rich title.
-
Each character acts through special cards and abilities
-
The testing and skill system is quick and clear
-
Character growth is modular, with advancement based not just on "leveling up" but also on decisions made throughout the campaign.
Additionally, the game includes a "saga" mode (long-term campaign) and an "episodic" mode, perfect for those who can't play continuously.
🧭 The narrative side: engaging without apps
Let's be honest: we expected a companion app to manage everything. Instead, Agemonia chooses the paper route, with a well-written system, divided into narrative sections and dynamic events, all linked together.
📖 The result? A tangible narrative, to be read aloud like an interactive book, that never loses rhythm.
🎨 Production and components
Beautifully illustrated boards, high-quality miniatures, functional inserts: Agemonia is a pleasure for the eyes too. The visual tone is consistent, the character designs are fascinating, and everything – from the rules to the tokens – aims to immerse , not just manage.
✅ Who is Agemonia for?
-
For those who love narrative legacies but are looking for a replayable game
-
For groups that really want to cooperate , without shortcuts
-
For fans of titles like Gloomhaven , Destinies or Sleeping Gods , but with less mathematical crunch and more “gut” choices
🔍 Conclusion
Agemonia is a game that doesn't just make you fight : it asks you to take a stand, choose your role in the world, and face the consequences.
A fantasy campaign different from the usual, deep but accessible, with great attention to narration and the value of choices.
