Game Description

Your village has been plundered, forcing you on an exhausting journey through cruel deserts and icy peaks. Finally, you find the perfect place to start anew. But as soon as you build your first hut, you discover a vast network of underground caves, rich with shimmering treasures, rare resources, and unexplored adventures. In Above and Below, you won't limit your new settlement to the surface; the true underground adventure awaits you, ready to help you rebuild a village even stronger than before!

This innovative board game cleverly combines village building with deep storytelling elements. You and up to three friends will compete to build the most prosperous village, both on the surface and in the depths. You will send your villagers to perform crucial tasks: explore caves, gather precious resources, and construct new dwellings. Each villager possesses unique abilities, and you'll need to decide wisely how best to deploy them on your personal player board. Will Hanna lead the expedition or teach important skills to the younger ones?

The true magic of Above and Below lies in cave exploration. When a team of your villagers ventures underground, one of your friends will read a paragraph from a storybook, describing the events and presenting you with choices. Your decisions, often difficult, will depend on the abilities of the villagers you brought with you and your willingness to sacrifice something for the mission's success. Prepare for a unique experience, rich in moral choices and unexpected discoveries, a must-have title for lovers of interactive storytelling and strategy.
