Every 40 generations, the gods of Elzarr test the strength, courage, and righteousness of their people by unleashing terrible calamities upon the world. These calamities take on the form of titanic beasts and are known as the Avatars of Woe. Any one of these avatars has the power to wipe out the people of Elzarr. Together, their ravages would destroy the world!
But the gods are as honorable as they are cruel. For each Avatar of Woe, they send into the world an Avatar of Hope destined to face that threat. These champions are mortal, yet they're blessed with gifts from the gods. They are reincarnated every 40 generations, and their rebirths usher in the Time of Testing.
Now the prophets have spoken: the last Avatar of Hope has come of age, and the Time of Testing is upon Elzarr once more! The champions have never failed to defeat the Avatars of Woe, but if even one threat survives, it will mean the end of the world!
Eight cataclysmic threats have unleashed their powers onto the world, threatening to completely annihilate it. But, have faith - eight Avatars of Hope stand relentlessly against the waves of destruction! Will the avatars overcome these threats and save the world, or will they all perish in vain? Eight Epics is a cooperative dice game designed by Seiji Kanai (Love Letter).
