Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 8.51. This 2019 board game is for 1 to 4 players. 'Cloudspire' by Chip Theory Games comes with the main board game. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign aren't included unless stated otherwise. The game box has a ding & dent issue where 1 or more corners were damaged in transit, but it's just cosmetic. Cloudspire is a 1 - 4 player strategy game inspired by tower defense and MOBA games. Solo and co - op play follow a scenario book that tells the story from each faction's view. Players lead one of four unique factions to destroy and steal source energy from opponents. You can send and defend against armies and minions, build towers to protect your base, and have your heroes explore for resources and powerful Relics. Set in the floating realm of Ankar, the game is about a war for a powerful energy called 'the source'. Each race has unique units, heroes, and can bid and draft mercenaries. Armies can be placed individually or in stacks to hide strong units. Heroes are controlled solo and can either join the battle or explore for resources. The event deck keeps changing the fight, making each wave exciting and unpredictable. As armies approach enemy bases, they face Spires - strong defense towers built around the board. Control build sites, get new spire schematics for a great defense, and upgrade your home base for new strategies. Level up your heroes and lead your armies with advanced skills.
