"High mountain peaks, freezing glaciers, mysterious islands, verdant forests and bountiful plains…"

Rise & Fall is a game involving strategic units positioning, territory control and opportunity seizing. Each player leads a civilization trying to expand and progress in a fantasy world with unique landscapes featuring glaciers on islands and huge cliffs as barriers.

Rise & Fall brings to the table:

  • A 3D board, different during each game
  • A set of 132 beautiful deluxe painted meeples
  • Simple yet deep mechanics
  • A streamlined and dynamic gameplay
  • A game for 2 to 4 players, up to 8 when 2 game boxes are combined

Each player starts with a small tribe including a Village, a Nomad and a Ship. The civilization grows to include Temples, Merchants and Mountaineers, the latter able to pass astonishing cliffs.

"Rise & Fall is an immersive and engaging game, easy to understand yet hard to master, with no luck or randomness involved." Each game features a different world to explore.

New players will enjoy the accessibility, discovering the game through their deck of six cards displaying all actions and units.

Veteran strategists will appreciate the full control aspect and constantly increasing learning curve.

It is no secret that Christophe Boelinger likes games with some control over luck and randomness (Dungeon Twister, Living Planet), but also very thematic ones. In Rise & Fall, he created an immersive civilisation game with a strong replay value, fitting under 2 hours of play. Kickstarter is the perfect platform to help him connect with his player base and the target audience that this colorful deep strategy game will gather around the table.
