From the manufacturer

Explore your magic. Embrace your power. Awaken your darkness.
Casting Shadows is an immersive, turn-based competitive strategic tabletop game from the creators of Here to Slay and Happy Little Dinosaurs. Choose an adorably fierce character to play as while you travel to different Hex tiles, learn Spells, defeat opponents, and unlock your Shadow Form. The last player standing wins!


Select Your Character
To get started, choose a character to represent you throughout the game. Will you play as Kit Gale, Frill Lilypad, Haze Greentongue, or Nuzzle Thornwood? Each comes with its own corresponding Meeple and player board.

Game Map
The game Map is made up of individual Hex tiles. Hex tiles represent different locations within the game, and each location grants you an advantage (ranging from extra Resource allocations to healing to damage reduction). You'll also be able to learn useful Spells (or Counterspells) at each location that you can use to gain an edge over your opponents.

Turn Breakdown
Your turn consists of 3 phases. During Phase 1, you’ll roll 5 Resource dice to form your Resource Pool, which contains all the Resources you can spend that turn. During Phase 2, you’ll get 4 Action points that you can spend on the following Actions: Travel, Collect, Refresh, Reroll, Protect, and Cast. During Phase 3, you’ll absorb any remaining Shadow Fragments in your Resource Pool. If you’ve absorbed enough Shadow Energy and you are in your Base Form, you may immediately transform into Shadow Form!

Shadow Companions
When you transform into Shadow Form, you get to choose a Companion to join you throughout the game. Your new friend will grant you a unique ongoing ability, but choose wisely, as you only get one Companion per game!
