Fall of Lumen is a standalone fantasy adventure in which rebel heroes enter the Inner Worlds to rescue the captured Keepers. Players build decks and personal tableaus, gather resources and skills, and move agents among the districts of Lumen to complete missions before the city collapses. Contracts, open drafting, and once-per-game powers reward careful development, while varied maps and scenarios change the route through the campaign-like adventure. Competitive, solo, and two-player cooperative options let the same interconnected system support several styles of play.
