GTM #213 - Inside Aristeia!
by Corvus Belli

1. THE CORE BOX HAS ALL YOU NEED TO PLAY

The basic box for Aristeia! has all the materials you’re going to need during the game: eight character miniatures (in pre-assembled plastic) with their initiative cards, three booklets (“Access Guide to the Human Sphere”, “How to Play”, and the “Quick Reference Guide”), 52 tactical cards, a two-sided board representing the HexaDome, dice, markers, and tokens.

2. TACTICAL DEPTH

Aristeia! isn’t just another board game. Apart from being set in an incredible universe (Infinity’s Human Sphere) it has a different approach to tabletop gaming. Not only will you be standing in the shoes of a high-level trainer and create a competitive team that combines different skills, you’ll also have to take your rival’s strategies into consideration.

The objective of Aristeia! is to score in the scoring zones with a wide array of tactical options. Aggressive? Defensive? Speed and Control? Field Presence and Combat? The possibilities are endless!

To complement your style of play you can add tactical cards and their effects onto the table. The Aristos (Aristeia! characters) not only have their signature skills, but a number of tactical cards that can be game changing, as well.

3. SPECTACLE

Aristeia! is pure spectacle! It is, after all, the ‘sport of the future’. Care has been taken with the game aesthetics to the smallest detail — all the characters exhibit a different personality reflected in the miniature since its conception.

4. BALANCE

At Corvus Belli, we had a clear goal for Aristeia! We wanted to offer the highest level of competitiveness possible, and we did it! The game isn’t decided in the first turns; you’ll have to play until the end — always! No matter how low on the scoring totem you are, there’s always a chance for a comeback! A good strategy can bring you victory!

5. CB’S SUPPORT

We believe that we have a popular and successful game in the works, and we want you to play it all the way. For this Corvus Belli has developed some extras so the game can be even greater.

Aristeia! will have its own website with its exclusive content. We think that a game like this needs all the communication space it can get. Apart from finding the basic rules of the game (tutorials, how to play, downloadable content) you’ll also find an exclusive narrative space where you can enjoy the true future sport. Also, Corvus Belli will promote a competitive game system (the AGL (Aristeia! Global League), completely independent with its own support during the season.

6. WAIT, THERE’S MORE!

Aristeia! will have periodic expansions that will complement your team with new characters and skills. We will unveil the new expansion very soon, but before then we’ll give you something you’ve been craving for a long time.
