Time of Legends: Joan of Arc takes place during the chaos of the 100 Years War, where kings, princes, and warriors vie for control of France. This is an era of knights and squires, where chivalry is often more myth than reality. Religion and superstition shape the worldview—while educated clerics believe in divine forces of angels and demons, common folk fear the lurking threats of werewolves and dragons. In Joan of Arc, all these elements are real.
This story-driven board game features intricately crafted miniatures and 3D scenery, creating an immersive experience that challenges players to balance strategy, resource management, and card play. Victory depends on outmaneuvering your opponents on the board while gathering the resources and cards needed to act. Players enjoy wide freedom of choice: in each turn, they can spend or save resources, activate units for combat or exploration, or even search for hidden secrets. Each decision depends on the player’s objectives and the shifting dynamics of the game, ensuring no two turns are the same.
Players take on the roles of historical factions or supernatural forces from the shadows. Iconic figures like the Black Prince, the Dauphin, Falstaff, and Joan of Arc herself lead the charge, with each scenario offering its own map, heroes, and followers. The victory conditions vary, so one scenario might see you hunting a werewolf as an inquisitor, while another has you leading a raiding party through an ambush to safety.
Scenarios range from quick skirmishes with a few figures to large-scale battles with armies of knights, archers, and soldiers. Most scenarios take under an hour to play, and the game also features a battle mode for epic clashes between customizable armies.
