The world of Earthshine is broken. The chasm has brought on many new challenges and we hope you can help us solve them. Join us in the underworld to gain the glory you deserve.
Chain Mail: Adventures of Earthshine is a 1-4 player solo/cooperative adventure game where your goal is to complete a quest before time runs out. A party of four heroes face monsters and terrain that might slow them down, but each deploys unique abilities to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. The game takes place in Earthshine, a world that has been literally torn open by a giant meteor. The chasm that has formed has become a new world for exploration, adventure and danger. Our characters have joined up to take on quests below the surface.
Chain Mail consists of a base set of rules, tokens, and cards, which are then complemented by map, monster, quest, and treasure cards -- one each -- and four hero character cards. The modular design of the game allows for thousands of scenario combinations and a rich depth of party creation and combination.
Regardless of the setup, each consists of the party working in unison. First they decide to stay or move. Then they roll for trouble, and either battle or adventure. Afterwards, they wrap everything up -- distribute treasure, tend to their wounds -- to end the turn. But the characters REALLY come to life during battle and adventure phases, showing off their special skills and mechanics to create radically different play experiences.
Every adventure and every party is different; it's up to YOU to guide your intrepid heroes to glory! ...or failure.
