Read the full game description
Moonstone is a character-driven fantasy skirmish game in which rival troupes cross enchanted terrain to gather fallen Moonstones. Models spend energy to move, use signature abilities, and enter opposed melee or arcane exchanges resolved through bluffing rather than dice. Every character brings unusual strengths, weaknesses, and storybook personality, so positioning and reading an opponent matter as much as raw combat power. Secure the stones before night ends while denying rivals the routes and objectives they need.
