MISFORTUNATE is a turn-based strategy board game where careful planning, calculated risk and a little luck can build an empire - or bring it crashing down.

Travel across a richly illustrated board, purchase valuable Units, manage your resources, trade with other players, craft powerful Items, and strengthen your team as you compete to eliminate every rival standing between you and victory. Every turn matters: where you move, what you purchase, when you upgrade, what you trade, and how much you are willing to risk.

Build your economy using Tokens, Honey, Totems and Crystals gathered throughout the match. Claim Units before your opponents do, then develop them through Copper, Silver and Gold upgrades to increase the tolls paid by anyone unfortunate enough to land on your holdings.

But ownership alone will not guarantee victory.

Event Cards can move players across the board, alter resources, force difficult decisions, create unexpected opportunities or place someone directly in danger. Shops, Portals, auctions, traps, the Pitfall and other special spaces add tactical choices beyond simple movement, while Items and crafted tools can influence dice, positioning, movement and turn order.

MISFORTUNATE is built around competitive team play. Coordinate with your teammate, recover from setbacks, exploit openings and apply enough economic pressure to eliminate rival teams. Play through Steam or LAN multiplayer, or add bots with Easy, Medium, Hard and Extreme difficulty levels to change the challenge.

The objective is simple: survive the unexpected, outmanoeuvre your rivals, and be the last team standing.

Build Your Position

Purchase Units across the board and turn them into increasingly valuable assets. Upgrade your holdings to strengthen their tolls and increase the pressure on opponents who enter your territory.

Manage, Trade And Craft

Tokens are only part of your economy. Balance Tokens, Honey, Totems, Crystals and your Item inventory while deciding when to spend, save, sell, trade or craft. The right Item at the right moment can be worth more than raw wealth.

Control The Board

Branching routes, Portals and special spaces create meaningful movement choices. Items can alter dice and positioning, traps can punish careless movement, and tactical effects can suddenly change who controls the strongest part of the board.

Adapt To Misfortune

No strategy survives unchanged. Event Cards can reshape positions, resources and priorities without warning. Strong players plan ahead while keeping enough flexibility to recover when the board refuses to cooperate.

Compete With Players And Bots

Build teams for competitive multiplayer through Steam or LAN, and include bots when you want to fill out a match or change the opposition. Bot difficulty can be set to Easy, Medium, Hard or Extreme.

Eliminate The Competition

Reduce your opponents’ ability to recover, take advantage of their mistakes, disrupt their plans and force rival teams out of the game. The last surviving team claims victory.
