Game Details

• The Set: This is a comprehensive tabletop experience. Due to the high level of detail and the number of components, the game files are split into two separate .3mf files.
• Important: You must download and print both files to play the game in its entirety.
• Assembly: Designed for ultimate ease of play—there is no glue or assembly required for these models!

How to Play

• Player Modes: Whether you prefer a solitary challenge, teaming up with friends, or testing your wits against a rival, this game supports Solo Mode (controlling all sides), Cooperative Mode (1–4 players vs. AI), and Asymmetrical Mode (one player takes on the role of the Ghost Queen).
• Game Setup: The board is modular. Heroes (Kaelen, Borin, Elara, and Nyx) start in their designated areas—the Observatory, Broken Tower, Gateway, and House Ruins respectively. The Ghost Queen commands the main tower with 10 Lives, while 6 Henchmen guard the central bridge, which has a strict 6-unit capacity limit. Players must stabilize all active portals to claim victory!

The Heroes & Health

Each hero begins with 5 Lives. If a hero hits 0, they are removed from the board. Master these unique abilities to win:

• Kaelen, the Clockwork Weaver: Uses Spatial Calibration to close portals automatically when adjacent.
• Borin Stonehand, the Runeguard Paladin: Uses Runic Bulwark to intercept attacks directed at allies within a 1-tile radius.
• Elara, the Arcane Duelist: Uses Arcane Strike to perform two attacks with a single "Attack" action.
• Nyx, the Silent Shadow: Uses Ambush Specialist to gain a +1 bonus (targeting 3+) when attacking enemies engaged with another hero.

Why You’ll Love This Game

If you enjoy the deep storytelling and tactical combat found in legendary RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder, you will feel right at home with The Queen’s Rift. This game shares the spirit of beloved dungeon-crawling board games like Gloomhaven, HeroQuest, and Descent: Legends of the Dark. It combines the strategic depth of card-based combat with the visual immersion of 3D-printed terrain, offering a perfect entry point for those who love epic fantasy adventures and high-stakes skirmishes.

For the best results with these detailed game pieces, I highly recommend using SUNLU PLA+. It provides excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy, ensuring that all your terrain and character miniatures look sharp and hold up well to frequent, epic gameplay sessions.
