Base price: $85. 1 - 4 players. Play time: At least an hour per session. Probably 20+ hours per campaign. BGG | Board Game Atlas Buy on Amazon (via What's Eric Playing?) Logged plays: 4? We played through a full campaign over a few sessions. Hard to really measure what counts as a "play" with a game like this.
Full disclosure: A review copy of Sleeping Gods was provided by Red Raven Games.
So I've been trying to write this review for almost a year, which has been exciting. Just ... a lot to get through, and a lengthy campaign game is no easy task for me. But we did it! We've arrived. We're here now. It's no secret that I've been looking forward to this game for forever; Red Raven frequently produces games that are both narratively and artistically spectacular, so I'm excited to see where this measures up compared to some of the others I've played in the past, like Near & Far or Above & Below. Lots to get through and not a lot of time to do it, so let's dive right in!
In Sleeping Gods, you'll take on the role of Captain Sofi Odessa and the crew of the Manticore, stranded in a strange new world ruled over by the eponymous deities. To rouse them from their slumber, you'll need to set sail over a massive illustrated atlas, discovering what secrets the islands (and the people living on them) hide. You're pursued by those who seek to stop you waking the gods, fearing their retribution (or worse). This narrative game has players manage their boat and explore new lands, completing skill-based challenges along the way to drive the plot forward. As you do, you'll have to avoid danger from events and handle a variety of combat scenarios if you want to live to see the gods wake up. Items, Passengers, Quests, and Adventure Cards will help you along the way, should you be able to pick them up, but in order to truly complete your journey, you'll need to collect eight Totems, magical artifacts of great power. Will you be able to complete your tasks and convince the gods to return you home?
