2026
Designed by S. A. Heinichen
Published by Veridian Worldcrafters, LLC
A Hybrid Fantasy Civilization RPG that plays 1-10 players. Verrago combines traditional board game mechanics, light legacy mechanics with Table Top Role Playing Games. You will be using magnetic pieces on a globe that acts as a new form of game board, called Vaeya, A mysterious planet layered in stories and magic. Play as any level of political unit : Characters, Families, Guilds, Roles, Kingdoms, Empires)on a world where everything hangs in a dynamic Balance. Should this Balance be disrupted by you and your fellow players (and it surely will), the planet will try to end your (usually) evil ways by uniquely trying to exterminate everyone, starting with the worst perpetrators. This is a world where nothing stays the same, mysteries deepen as you explore the Veridian and attempt to master it and you can choose to band together to fight the apocalypse, or become it. With 5 main paths to victory(Epic Story, Strongest Lineage, Veridian Imprint, Strategic Survivor and Richest Delve) you choose how and where your victories can occur over your opponents. Victories, over many plays of Verrago, create a historical record of your globe that becomes unique to your gaming group. The globe itself acts as your "save file" so that your playthrough's matter, your time playing the game works more for you. This allows you to create a long term dialogue with your board game group and weave ever more elaborate stories that add value to your group and add additional meaning to your friendships Designed also as a fully developed TTRPG, this game will have many familiar TTRPG themes and structures. Dungeon Masters, this game will help you relieve your creative burdens and allow you to get immediate player investment into your game when doing your session zero game! Players, this will give you a TTRPG experience like no other, a true blend of concepts at a deep level with extensive options for pushing your own narratives. Verrago uses a co-created history mechanic for telling epic, memorable stories that can also be used for your Table Top Role Playing Games. Vaeya, the planet of our setting, is an INTERACTIVE SETTING, the cards allow for a dynamic storytelling experience that also gives you(and your characters) direct control over a range of theme/lore heavy game mechanics. Verrago also has an event system that helps you generate a world spanning, geopolitical and Veridian situation EACH GAME, with care to minimize the burdens of recording the history during the game. A more detailed record is possible, yet this will be at your own discretion. Verrago also has a Campaign Book that works with the card generation system so that you get the best of both worlds, the strength of linear storytelling AND the strength of the "choose your own adventure" style of storytelling. There is nothing that approaches the scope and scale of Verrago on the board game market. There's something special about creating a world with others... The game has 3 main parts, of which the first is optional and the third won't always occur. Here is a rough overview of how it will play(subject to change as the game is currently in development): 1. The Pre-Game(Optional): You play with your friends to set the precise magical conditions you want to play and feel out and fine tune the game so that you aren't limited to randomization. This pre-game is about generating the world you will play next and takes about 30-60min. There are 25 preset scenarios that allow you to skip this pre-game and are recommended for your first few times playing the game. 2. Verrago: You will us 5x game mechanics (Explore, Expand, Exploit, Experiment and Exterminate) to overcome your opponents(should you have any), sometimes needing to create temporary/permanent alliances to survive the more dangerous events that occur randomly(or by player action). As you acquire power in the world, the planet fights back as you are disrupting the careful magical balance of the world. Once you've disrupted t
