Epona

About the game

What is Epona?

Welcome to Epona, an immersive, tableau-building card game for 1-6 players in which you step into the boots of an ambitious equestrian entrepreneur in Central Europe in the 1920s, a time of relative peace and prosperity. Now is the time to finally invest in your dream: to build the most prestigious and successful horse business in the land. But will Epona, the Roman and Gallic goddess of horses and fertility, bring you good fortune as you set out on this endeavor? Over six rounds, you'll acquire new locations for your stables, hire expert staff, purchase essential equipment, and build everything you need, from training arenas to thrilling race tracks. Of course, you'll need horses, too, but choose them wisely as each one brings different ways to score points. Want to go the extra mile? Breed your horses to create future champions and secure your name in equine history! Every choice matters, and every card you add to your tableau brings you closer to greatness — or leaves you in the dust. Will your stables rise above the rest? —description from the publisher
