Cerebria The Inside World Bordspel - EN

Cerebria – The Inside World is a wondrous and quirky world where players embody the Spirits of Bliss or Gloom, the two opposing sides of human nature. Competing to shape Cerebria’s Identity, Spirits spread their influence on the main board by invoking Emotion cards with various intensities and abilities; placing Fortresses to strengthen their presence in the Realms; unlocking upgrades to their Actions; absorbing Willpower from the ever-rotating Origin; and attempting to trigger Revelations at just the right time to score the completed objectives.

Cerebria features seven different aspects of area control. The game is objective-driven; while each of these control aspects gives benefits, their importance in scoring will change dynamically based on the Aspiration (objective) cards. Each side has its own secret Aspiration but there is also a common one, openly contested by both sides. By gaining resources from the Origin, players will eventually trigger Revelations; this is when the Aspiration cards are evaluated, and a Bliss or Gloom Fragment is added to the Identity based on the result.

Cerebria’s gameplay revolves around the Emotions, the Inside World’s inhabitants. They all have unique, thematic special abilities and an Intensity value that depends on the amount of Essence them. The more intense they are, the more effectively they can influence Cerebria’s Realms and Frontiers. With enough Essence, they can even be evolved to their stronger form!
There are dozens of different Emotions available, enough to build and customize your own Emotion deck before each game to suit your play style.

On their turn, players can take up to three Actions with their Spirits. Each of these actions cost one action point and some amount of Willpower. Willpower can be gained in several ways but mainly from the Spheres of the ever-rotating Origin in the middle of the board. Taking Willpower from the Spheres lets players have control over mid-game scoring; managing Willpower, then, is critical to the Spirits’ success.
Further powerful Actions are only available if the players have Ambition, the rare resource in their possession.
