Armello is a grand swashbuckling adventure that combines three styles of play The deep tactics of card games with the rich strategy of table top board games, combined with a character role-playing system. As a hero from one of the clans of Armello, you'll quest, scheme, hire agents, explore, vanquish monsters, cast spells and face off against other players, with one ultimate end goal in mind — storming the palace and becoming King or Queen of Armello. The Kingdom of Armello is as dangerous as it is beautiful, perils, banes and bandits hide around every corner and a spreading corruption known as the Rot is leaving no creature untouched.

An online "Boardgame" that honestly deserves a lot more attention than it has gotten.
In Armello the goal is to become King. You can do this in 4 ways: kill the king, cure the king, be prestigious when the king happens to die or become even more corrupted than the current king.
The game is a turnbased strategy in which cards and dice play a big roll. (See what I did there?)
Every character you can play has a different ability aiding them. So one character might be a great fighter, while another may be more of a tricky player. No matter what play-style you like going for, you can find something for you.
Different cards have different effects, from items, raw damage or health, to obstacles and so much more creating a unique and fun environment to try a combination of interesting strategies.
I've heard people complain that the game is too luck based, and while luck plays a big role, knowing the game and strategies goes a lot further most of the time. Yes you can win by getting lucky but you will win more games by knowing how to build a good character and how to play your cards.
Considering the depth of the game, it's also fairly easy to learn. I'd say it takes about 3-4 games until you fully grasp the game and then it becomes a breeze learning.
The only downside is the bad networking and the decreasing playerbase. It can sometimes take quite a while to find people to play with, but discord servers to find players do exist and most of them are really friendly.
Also the art and animations in this game are absolutely gorgeous ♥

I don't care how nice the art is, I am NOT playing your furry card game!
There's collectible dice, you say? Addictive strategic gameplay (albeit with Mario Party levels of nightmare RNG) with relatively short games and a good balance of simple rules to complex strategy? Collectible Dice? Worldbuilding that essentially combines Redwall with Game of Thrones? Collectible Dice?
Maybe just one game...

A fantastic turn-based board game in a fairy tale setting......got my hands on it here.
At the beginning you play a kind of tutorial (called "prologue" in the game) to familiarize yourself with the great characters and numerous game elements. Reading is really important here, as is developing strategies on your own.
The game is approved for ages 6 and up, but it really isn't "child's play"!
As an adult, I also had to invest a certain amount of time to get used to this board game.
Of course you learn something new from round to round and what seemed confusing and incomprehensible at the beginning becomes more and more familiar.
To be honest, the fun of the game only developed after several rounds, even if the great graphics and the soundtrack were already convincing!
There is no "story mode" or anything like that, you just play a normal game, always with the same goal:
"The sick king who is terrorizing the land must be overthrown!"
Of course, the structure of the playing field varies from game to game, otherwise it would be boring.
The course of the game is always different, since many methods (trickery or alliance) can lead to the goal!
A game can take up to 45 minutes, which you don't really notice!
Unfortunately, the multiplayer mode can only be played online!!!
Positive:
- A good and complex game for "in between", which challenges the "gray cells" and certainly does not get boring that quickly!
Negative:
- tiny screen texts
- no offline multiplayer mode
Since the fun clearly predominates, go for it and buy Armello!!!

It's one of the best turn-based board games that you can play on a computer. It's good in both single- and multi-player mode. Great variety of playable characters gives you a chance to try different play styles. Rules are simple and easy to learn, yet you will want to play this game over and over again.
