Posvátná bažina - board game

Product detailed description

In the shadow of sacred trees and the silence of misty waters, we all know one thing – whether peace reigns or strife comes, our clan must be the one to turn this swamp into a home we will be proud of.

Three years have passed since the scouting expedition returned from the west with news of discovering the Sacred Swamp (Posvátná bažina). Since then, you have called it home. Now, the time has come to establish your dominance and lead your clan to prosperity.

Clans in the Heart of the Swamp In Posvátná bažina, players found new settlements, sail between islands, and compete for the highest number of victory points. The game board consists of a dynamic network of islands featuring ancient shrines, which heavily influence end-game scoring and create natural hotspots for player interaction.

Sailing, Fishing, and Trading The core of the game revolves around cleverly placing your villagers onto action spaces. By sailing, you move your ships across the waterways to unlock further actions – catching fish, trading, or building. Fish, gold coins, and crystals form the economic backbone that every expanding clan desperately needs.

Building and Expanding Influence You will build settlements on adjacent island spaces by paying the required resource costs, with certain spaces granting powerful immediate bonuses. Shrines located on the islands multiply the value of your connected settlements, meaning that tactical positioning and spatial awareness are just as important as rapid expansion.

Four Rounds of Development The game spans exactly four rounds, culminating in a final scoring phase. Players score points for island control, completed end-game objectives, and leftover resources. Posvátná bažina is a rewarding strategic Euro game that emphasizes movement planning, tight resource management, and clever territorial expansion.
