From THe Publisher: STORY:
For centuries, Queen Titania of the Fae seethed as foolish humans spoiled the earthly realm. She kept her patience only through the counsel of her beloved, King Oberon. But when he finally crossed realms to intervene, the humans refused his advice and cut him down.
Now Titania rules alone, plotting revenge and conquest. With her armies of Fae and their dragon hordes, she prepares to avenge Oberon and seize the dying Earth to save humankind from itself. All hail: Titania Ascending!
GAME OVERVIEW:
Titania Ascending is a cooperative “flip and write” game for two to six players in which you and your friends become Titania’s trusted generals, coordinating and dispatching forces. In phase 1, you will fill in your map with the units you want to send to Earth; in phase 2, you will use the map you’ve filled out to support the invasion. (To play by yourself or in competition with your friends, check out the competitive variant on page 8.)
FILL IN YOUR MAP:
In phase 1, Muster, you arrange armies and dragons, recruit aides-de-camp (special assistants), and select the elite shock forces who will secure the stones for the Fae crown of the earthly realm. Take turns choosing which unit everyone will draw on their staging grounds (map/player board), coordinating with other players to select shock forces and recruit aides. The phase succeeds when all six shock forces have been selected. You fail if everyone passes before you complete this goal.
USE YOUR MAP:
In phase 2, Raid, you open portals to the earthly realm and send your forces into the field. Take turns selecting missions to launch, shading in areas on your map that meet the mission requirements; meanwhile, the other players fill in similar areas on their maps. After you launch each mission, you can also deploy your shock forces. If you deploy all six shock forces, you avenge your king, conquer the Earthly realm, and win.
WINNING AND LOSING:
You win together by selecting six shock forces during the Muster phase, then by deploying all six shock forces in the Raid, avenging Oberon and taking control of Earth.
The whole team loses together in two ways:
In phase one, Muster, you lose if all players pass before the six shock forces have been selected.
In phase two, Raid, you lose if all players pass before the six shock forces have been deployed.
