Nocturne Kickstarter Edition

Description

Nocturne is a beautiful strategy board game for 1-4 players that plays in 30-45 minutes. From the team that brought you Calico, Cascadia, Verdant, and Fit to Print, this LUCI award-winning game designed by David Iezzi and developed by the Flatout Games CoLab is a delightfully interactive puzzle with a highly competitive spatial bidding mechanism on a shared play area. Take on the role of a charming fox mystic and compete through the twilight and moonlight rounds to gather the strongest sets of magical items and brew powerful concoctions to gain the most prestige and win the game!

Nocturne features dozens of unique components - each with individual attributes and stunning artwork to bring the magical forest landscape to life!

The game comes with a variety of Twilight and Moonlight Goal Cards, Concoction Recipes, and unique Character Ability Cards allowing you to mix and match new challenges each and every time you play! There are limitless unique game setups to explore! 

Nocturne is designed by David Iezzi, long-time Flatout Games CoLab member who worked as a developer on both of our hit games Calico and Cascadia! This is David's first credited published board game design, though he has brought dozens of games to life in his role as a designer at Funko Games. The solo mode design was led by Shawn Stankewich - designer of the International Gamers Awards (IGA) 2022 Solo Award winning Cascadia solo mode. It is developed and art directed by the award-winning creative team behind Calico, Cascadia, Verdant, and Fit to Print - Molly Johnson, Robert Melvin, Shawn Stankewich, and Dylan Mangini. The newest CoLab member, Fertessa Allyse helped bring the magical theme to life through her writing, editing, and gameplay development. Fertessa has worked on dozens of games as an independent designer, as well as part of the Funko Games and Pokemon games teams! Finally, Beth Sobel helped bring the magical world of Nocturne to life with her whimsical illustrations. Beth is the illustrator of past CoLab games Calico, Cascadia, and Verdant, as well as countless other board games!

Nocturne is already award-winning - it won the 2019 LUCI award for best design!

Nocturne also has a Family Variant! If you are playing with children, those new to gaming, or you just want to make the puzzle and rules a little simpler, you can play with the included Family Variant rules. These adjusted rules streamline the game so that anyone can get in on the action! 

With this range of gameplay modes, Nocturne can be tuned to offer different game experiences to different players, depending on experience level and preferences so that it can fit into any game night!
