About the game

What is Boreal?

In Boreal, two adventurous women explore the ruins of the ancient world in search of knowledge. On their turn, players draft cards from a common river (or reserve a card) to try to get the ruins cards that bring the most knowledge. Depending on how many resources players have, they will have access to a limited number of cards, possibly all of them. After one or both players have reached ten cards, the game ends, and whoever has the most knowledge wins. —description from the publisher
