Victory is not determined by who can get to the throne first, though. Knowing that he grows weak by the day, the heroes of each clan race to claim the throne for themselves.
The king has contracted rot, a dark force that is slowly driving him mad and killing him. And it is in this lush world of animal clans, a mad king and spells and magic that the player - the hero - must race against other heroes to claim the king's throne.
Everything moves, like a perpetual breeze is blowing through the game. The sun casts light and shadows across the board. The game world comes to life on the screen. everyone is going for the same thing, so they're all going to try to hamstring each other."īut being a digital board game means Armello does things differently. "That's what we wanted to set up," Kusters says, "the ability for people to create these temporary allegiances if they want, but they'll also know that they're going to crumble at some point." And they commit acts of treachery, they plot and scheme and form alliances just like they would in a traditional board game. They roll virtual dice like they would physical dice. Players tap on their hero character to move it around as they would on a physical board. Kusters is demoing the alpha build of Armello, League of Geeks' debut title for PC and tablets, which is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter. It's like one minute we're buddies, but you know at some point one person is going to stab the other in the back."
