Guild Academies of Valeria
Players: 1–4 • Ages: 14+ • Play time: 90–120 min.
You’ve waged war and tended crops; killed for coin and received visions from the holy martyr, Aquila; you’ve mastered the principals of every guild and devoted your life to Valeria. But you must now plan to foster the next generation of hard working citizens and skilled protégés—you must create the greatest of the Guild Academies of Valeria!
Guild Academies of Valeria takes place over a series of rounds and phases. In the Recruitment Phase, you will send stewards to the city docks to draft students (dice), academy tiles, and professors. In the Education Phase, you will assign students and professors to your growing academy to advance their knowledge. In the Questing Phase, you will send graduates on assignments that need their particular traits. While all of this is going on, you’ll also be building monuments within your academy for powers, seeking favors to increase your abilities, and courting the influence of key members of the 20-strong city council. Their help and influence will mean everything when they judge your completed academy.
Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria: Riftlands
A new shrine in the monster-kin cavern has been discovered. Three magical rift gates in the shrine open onto Valeria castles rich in plunder and ripe for attack. You’ll discover ancient relics to give your armies unique powers and as your collection of powerful talismans grows, so too does your desire to become the next General of the Shadow Kingdoms.
Riftlands introduces two powerful and thematic asymmetrical powers for each monster-kin race. One is active at the start of the game and the other can be unlocked when you complete a Battle Plan. A new set-collection mechanic is added to Shadow Kingdoms through the 30 Relic cards you can acquire in the Riftlands, and each relic also has a unique power to further the player asymmetries. An additional 15 new Champion cards are also added to leverage the new mechanics and ideas presented in the Riftlands expansion.

Urban Decay
Urban Decay is a roleplaying game of fast-moving, beat-’em-up action—take to the streets, take on the gangs, take back your City! As night falls over the City, a storm is brewing in the streets below. The gangs have taken over. They rule with an iron fist, their will enforced by armies of thugs and brawlers. Gutters run red. The authorities have either sold out or are stretched too thin to make a difference. Might makes right.
You will not tolerate this any longer. Uniting with a crew of like-minded individuals, you head out to reclaim your home, protecting neighborhoods, inspiring others to take a stand, and clashing with gang enforcers as you work your way through their ranks, seeking to cut the head from the snake coiled at the heart of the City.
Urban Decay is a roleplaying game of beat-’em-up action inspired by classic arcade video games, movies, and comic books. Players take on the roles of warriors, martial artists, vigilantes, and ordinary citizens, taking to the streets to face the gangs that control the City and to save the people and places they love. Streamlined character and crew creation produces distinct, capable heroes with shared goals and bonds, while the versatile Clash system emphasizes the brutal, gritty street fights in which these heroes will find themselves. The City itself is built collaboratively, with players working together to define the districts and neighborhoods for which their heroes will go to war.
