The Tournament of Heroes has ended and you have been named as one of the Tidal Blades, elite guard and champion of our island realm. But you have no time to rest on your laurels as the Fold, the frozen section of space and time that protects Naviri from the sea monsters, is becoming ever more erratic. The High Engineers of the Citadel have entrusted you with the Nexus, a device that will let you venture into the Fold, unfreezing time.

With your fellow Tidal Blades, you must enter the Fold to unlock its mysteries as you attempt to recover the old guard Tidal Blades who were trapped inside when the Fold was created. On your journey to become a true Tidal Blade you will explore throughout the isles of Naviri to find a way to save the island realm.

In Tidal Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders, each player takes the role of a new Tidal Blade. In this cooperative, narratively rich, board game, players will work together through 18 scenarios. Each hero is equipped with a Nexus grid, allowing them to build up actions and create powerful combos. Each turn you will choose one card to play, add it to an open space in your Nexus grid, and then activate all spaces in either the row or column containing the played card.

Throughout the campaign you will grow and enhance your character by adding cards to your action deck, leveling up your traits of Spirit, Focus, Resilience and Synergy, unlocking powerful skills, and gaining specialized Items to boost your action cards.

Featuring 18 scenarios with unique maps and 40+ hours of gameplay, Tidal Blade 2: Rise of the Unfolders invites you on a quest through the lush and vibrant lands of Naviri. Along the way, you will meet valuable allies, have chance in counters with Golfins, Iota, and other denizens of Naviri. Battle a seemingly endless army of monsters and enemies as you fight your way to the center of the Fold.

Will you solve the mystery of the Fold in time and save Naviri, earning your place among the Tidal Blades of legend?

Mine arrived today, pledged after watching this video, you were totally right about the production quality and bright and vibrant nature.

I passed on the first Tidal Blades because the gameplay didn't grab me, but this is much more... tempting.

[mrbastos]

Been looking forward to seeing more about Tidal Blades 2 since they announced it. I backed the original and love the world they built.

[kumanight]

I'm interested. I don't need another dungeon crawler but I love the tidal blades art and universe enough to be pulled in. I just upgraded to the KS version of TB1, can't wait to table it over the holidays (although I'm still salty Skybound wont make an upgrade pack for retail buyers :P)

I really don't want to own another campaign game with Imperial Assault (ALL IN), Aftermath and Gloomhaven not yet completed and ISS Vanguard and Frosthaven inbound.
But I don't want to miss out the Tidal Blades even less. We really loved the first game. And this looks really great! :)

[jaayse]

I just hope the rulebook for this is better than the first game. I really like Tidal Blades part 1, but the rule book made it a real struggle to table. Once I got the rules down though, everyone I've played with has been a big fan.

[alessandroloru]

Hi Jesse! How is the ai? Are mob dumb or is every fight a good puzzle?

[Braz__]

It´s not that I want this game....I need this game :)
I´m a huge fan of this setting and Tidal Blades 1. Can`t wait for part 2.

[denisloebner]

ohh this looks nice. i really wasnt particularly interested in that 'sports event' theme and gameplay of the first one but this one looks amazing tbh

[JMJM]

How combat-centric is this? A mix of exploration and combat, or is it really just all about combat scenarios?

[wishmeheaven]

Sooo... Final Girl or The Ratcatcher..?

[ACosmonaut]

In solo, do you control one character or do you play multi-handed?

[aliciahoflack]

do i have to have the first one to be able to play this?

[rdot]

Hmm. Only 6 scenarios. That's only one more than Jaws of the Lions tutorial scenarios. How much replayability is there? Sure each character plays different but with only six scenarios replayability seems awfully low. (Edited) Nevermind. Later in the video you say there are 18 scenarios. That's a bit better. Haha

[elqord.]

I think they burned a lot of goodwill with the first game. Not sure how that bodes for this one. Also, I hear RPG/Campaign and see yet another book and I’m out
