Councils of Elporia

Ben Kanelos - adapted from ‘As Thou Commands’ by Riley Nixon

After generations of war, the divided factions of the Elpor Basin have agreed to put aside their differences and build a shared nation. But the challenges of keeping such a diverse group united, in the face of a large and dangerous world, will take all the skill of their newly-appointed leaders. Players divide their time between their Provinces - looking to their own estates and those of their neighbours - and central Councils which must decide on the weighty decisions facing the nation.

Councils of Elporia has a strong emphasis on storytelling and shared world-building. It's also currently an online-only megagame, although if you're interested in converting it for in-person play, Ben would be very keen to hear from you!

• 12-25 players

• Players are expected to engage in the shared world-building aspects of the game, which may be new territory for some.

• Runs with 4-6 facilitators, with heavy narrative responsibilities.

• The game materials are available for free

• The only cost to run the game would be a Miro (or similar) license - less than £10

• An in-person run would likely require around 300 cards and 500 generic tokens, costing £40-80
