THE GAME
A complete universe in one box. Three ways to play. No two sessions the same.
A living universe. One box. Everything you need to play tonight.
Fawnalore combines deck-building, tactical exploration, and an episodic story told through voice-acted motion comics. Pick up a hero, learn as you play, and dive into a world deep enough to keep you coming back.
What Makes Fawnalore Different?
-

Learn-As-You-Play
Episode 1 doubles as the tutorial, teaching rules through the story itself. Everything you need to know reveals itself exactly when you need it — just open the box and start playing.

Six Heroes. Six Destinies.
Six heroes. Six completely different ways to play. Each comes with a prebuilt deck ready from day one — and as the campaign unfolds, you earn new cards to make the deck entirely your own. Your heroes carry forward into each new season, evolving with the story.

Fast Combat. Fast Turns.
Combat is quick and transparent. Damage is straightforward, mitigation lives on your cards, and monsters run on simple AI so every player stays in the action — not waiting for their turn.

A Living Board That Reacts
Every session uses modular terrain tiles that change how you move, fight, and explore. Event tiles trigger surprises, and the map itself reshapes the adventure, making no two games alike.
How A Turn Works:
Draw
Draw a card from your Relic Deck. Every turn starts with new options in your hand.
Move & Action
Roll your movement die, explore the board, gather Ether, and take your action — attack, play a card, or use an ability. Move before or after your action. The choice is yours.
Clean Up
Resolve end-of-turn effects and discard down to your hand limit. Then your monsters take their turns before the next player begins.

Meet the Heroes
-
![Shima, the Tanuki Assassin, a stealth-based hero who uses Ether to teleport and strike in Fawnalore’s learn-as-you-play board game.]()
Shima
ASSASSIN
Shima's deck is built around speed and precision — strike fast, hit hard, and vanish before retaliation. His cards reward aggressive positioning and punish opponents who leave themselves exposed. Every hero comes with a prebuilt deck ready to play from day one, and as the campaign progresses you'll earn new cards to swap in and make the deck your own.
-
![Amka, the Polar Bear Tank, a defensive powerhouse who protects allies and builds Ether through damage in Fawnalore’s storytelling strategy game.]()
Amka
WARRIOR
Amka's deck is built around absorbing punishment and hitting back harder. Her cards generate power the longer she stays in the fight — the more pressure she takes, the more devastating her responses become. Players who want to be the immovable force at the center of the board will feel immediately at home with Amka's prebuilt deck, and plenty of room to customize as you earn new cards.
-
![Pona, the Tortoise Healer, a support hero who restores health and Ether to allies in Fawnalore’s learn-as-you-play campaign.]()
Pona
HEALER
Pona's deck centers on sustaining allies, generating Ether, and controlling the tempo of the table. Her cards reward patience and timing — she rarely makes the flashiest move, but the table tends to fall apart without her. Her prebuilt deck is one of the most strategic starting points in the game, with deep customization potential as new cards unlock through the campaign.
-
![Erandi, the Jaguar Mage, a ranged spellcaster who manipulates Ether energy and battlefield control in Fawnalore’s storytelling strategy game.]()
Erandi
MAGE
Erandi's deck is Ether-hungry and high-ceiling — his cards hit hard when fueled properly and reward players who manage their resources carefully. His abilities shift between offense, board control, and utility depending on what the moment demands. Players who enjoy thinking several moves ahead and making the most of every point of Ether will find Erandi's prebuilt deck deeply satisfying to grow.
-
![Prati, the inventive Tinkerer hero who crafts gadgets and manipulates cards to reshape combat in Fawnalore’s learn-as-you-play board game.]()
Prati
TINKERER
Prati's deck breaks the rules — deliberately. Her cards copy abilities, reshape the deck mid-game, and create unexpected interactions that other heroes can't access. She rewards creative thinking and improvisation over rigid strategy. Players who want to experiment and find combinations nobody saw coming will love what Prati's prebuilt deck can evolve into.
-
![Agowa, the Owl Scout, a ranged hero who reveals tiles and anticipates enemy movement in Fawnalore’s storytelling strategy game.]()
Agowa
SCOUT
Agowa's deck is built around information and range — revealing tiles, striking from a distance, and controlling the shape of the board before anyone else gets there. His cards reward players who think about positioning and map control rather than direct confrontation. Agowa's prebuilt deck plays unlike any other hero at the table, and deepens significantly as new cards unlock.
Everything you need. Right out of the box.
Fawnalore includes the complete system — heroes, tiles, decks, and organizers. Pick it up, open it, and play tonight. Act 1 is fully self-contained. Chronicles are sold separately and build on what you already own.
How the Universe Grows
Act 1 is the complete foundation — everything you need to play, fully self-contained. Season 1 unfolds across three acts. Each Chronicle builds on what you already own.
When a Chronicle releases, it adds new campaign tiles that continue the story, new terrain types that expand the board, and new episode content that picks up exactly where the last act ended. No repurchasing what you already have. Chronicles are priced accordingly.
At the start of each new season, your heroes return — same characters, new forms. New character cards with evolved abilities and new art reflecting how far they've come.
Act 1 is where the story begins. The Chronicles are where it deepens.
What’s In The Box?
Digital Onboarding
Fawnalore ships without a printed rulebook. Scan the QR code on the insert sheet inside the box and the guided onboarding begins — voiced, visual, and designed to get everyone playing in under thirty minutes.
Hero Boards & Decks
Six unique heroes — each with a prebuilt deck ready to play from day one. Learn the deck that comes in the box, then earn new cards and make it your own.
Terrain Tiles
Forests, rivers, mountains, and more. Build a new map every session, with tiles that shape the story as you explore.
Event & Monster Decks
Twists, surprises, and creatures with simple AI that keep every session dynamic and unpredictable.
Tokens & Dice
Custom tokens keep combat moving. Fast and clear at the table — no confusion, no slowdown.
Organizers & Trays
Designed for smooth setup and teardown, with trays to keep decks, tokens, and tiles neat between games.
PLAY MODES
Fawnalore isn’t just a single campaign — it’s a complete game system.
Flexible, modular, and built to adapt. Whether you want to journey through an episodic story, clash head-to-head, or invent something entirely new, the system bends to the way you play.
-
Journey through Act 1 together — watch or listen to each episode, then bring that world to the table. Season 1 spans three acts. Each Chronicle deepens the story and expands your board.
-
Head-to-head combat on a board that changes every match. Build your deck, read your opponent, and fight for dominance. Same heroes, completely different game.
-
Set up a free-form scenario and explore the board together. Build the map, set the challenge, and see how far you can push.
-
The system is designed to be taken apart and rebuilt. Capture the Flag, Team Games, Monster Recruit, custom maps, house rules — the only limit is what you can imagine. Combine multiple sets to build one massive map for as many players as you want.
Why Fawnalore…
Easy to Learn. Built to Last.
Episode 1 is the tutorial. Rules reveal themselves exactly when you need them — through the story itself. From the very first session, the world guides you in. Just open the box and start playing.
Everyone at the Table Gets to Play.
Every player takes on a hero with their own deck, abilities, and role in the story. The system runs the world for you, so the entire table is free to strategize, explore, and immerse together — no one sitting on the sidelines.
Fast Turns. Always in the Action.
Quick, transparent turns keep the story moving. Damage is straightforward, mitigation lives on your cards, and monsters act on simple clear AI. More time playing, more time in the world.
FOLLOW THE JOURNEY
The universe is still being built. Watch it happen.
Design updates, lore reveals, and behind-the-scenes dispatches as Fawnalore comes to life. When Act 1 launches, we'll send one episode a week to keep you in the world — your guide through the universe, piece by piece.
