Weirdwood Manor is a cooperative board game that combines great mechanics with Euro-inspired elements as you and your band of courageous companions battle to protect Weirdwood Manor and its enigmatic ruler, Lady Weirdwood, from an invasion by the Fae Monster and his Clockwork Scarab minions.

The estate is a mysterious and magical place where rooms and paths can shift as time passes. The game features a unique time mechanics; Whenever a player or the Fae Monster takes an action, time in the game will advance and the connections between rooms will shift via unique rotating corridors on the game board. Players can influence how they use their actions to determine how quickly (or slowly) time passes, but beware, if the players use up their allotted time and haven't defeated the monster, they lose!

You take on the role of one of six asymmetrical characters as you battle one of three different Fae Monsters, each with their own unique mechanics and loss conditions. You'll utilize dice drafting, card playing, resource management and location actions as you move through the ever-changing estate in search of the Fae Monster and his minions. You can also recruit additional companions to help you and you will improve your character's skills as you gain experience.

Each turn, players use their own card deck to take one primary action. Rooms they move to may offer additional promotions and benefits. In addition, players can utilize their own unique player and companion powers. These combinations can create varied and potentially powerful chains of actions during a player's turn.

After each player's turn, the Fae Monster will act, using their own custom card deck. As the game progresses, the Fae Monster's power will grow and things will become more dire for the players, so they will have to work together to solve the challenges. The game offers deep tactical choices and unpredictability; the players will really have to work together as a group to succeed as the threat increases!

And so, if the players can defeat the Fae Monster before time runs out - or before the Fae Monster completes its own unique victory condition, the players will win the game and have kept Weirdwood Manor safe for now... until the next threat arrives!
