Vestige

Overview

In an age of neo-humanistic progress, where biology and engineering merged, a civilization reached for the stars—until it all fell apart. Chaos and survivalism erased the knowledge of the past, leaving humanity scattered and desperate, clinging to the last hope of significance: leverage. Vestige is a strategic, 1-4 player modern euro game that can be played in an hour, featuring a unique resource alchemy system inspired by the color wheel—mix might (red) and cunning (yellow) to create guile (orange). With a modular board, variable end-game conditions, and a card-tableau engine-building core, it delivers a combo-rich, highly replayable experience. Inspired by Vindication, it reimagines award-winning mechanics in a fresh, complex-yet-accessible design. Players explore a map of diverse locations to spread influence, develop attributes, and build a network across factions: smugglers, mercenaries, and lawmakers. By selecting actions, completing jobs, and managing resources, you aim to gain leverage and outwit those who would keep you powerless. You may be wretched, but that’s precisely what makes you resilient.
