HOW TO PLAY
Sanctorvm is a board game in which one player gets to be the master and Overlord of the adventure while up to five players assume five characters (Homo Superbe/La Familia).
During every game, the players must fight dangerous creatures and make choices that may change the story. They will also acquire gear, upgrade abilities, and try to survive through the story that the Overlord develops.
Sanctorvm uses a unique dice-based system. Every character gets a number of action dice based on the required ability and their homo superbe powers which they use to get through battles and struggles in the narrative.
With double-sided tokens, different card combinations, and an immersive lore-rich adventure with countless options, Sanctorvm teleports players to a frenetic, violent kingdom where La Familia must fight together to survive.
The goal of the game is basic survival, along with developing your character and creating strategies alongside your partners to succeed in different missions. In the Adventure Mode, there are different scenes where the players will have to choose sides, changing the game and making every session unique.
