About the Game

CiteSaga is a strategy board game where players traverse the environments of Taleterra, from the Fusty Swamps to the Celestial Lakes, completing citation challenges to earn Citation Shards. As you journey through the land, you'll collect and arrange citation tokens, tackle citation puzzles, and outmanoeuvre opponents using your character's unique abilities. Whether you're upgrading citation tokens in the Fireproof Crags or completing citation challenges in the Serene Environs, each move brings you closer to victory. The first to successfully gather five Grand Archive Shards will be crowned the Keeper of Knowledge and restore balance to Taleterra.
