Serpent City is a turn-based board game about the struggle for influence. Build your economy, trade, fight and outsmart your rivals. The available moves are easy to understand; choosing the best one is where the challenge begins.
Simple decisions. Lasting consequences.
A roll of two dice determines your movement points. Divide them between your pieces, decide where to establish a presence and weigh immediate rewards against future income. Control territories, construct buildings and compete for the capital to increase your influence.
Make the most of your chances
Dice and card draws create opportunities and keep the outcome uncertain. Your decisions determine how you respond: strengthen your economy, negotiate a trade or commit to a conflict. Combat itself is resolved through visible strength, defensive bonuses and the cards played by both sides. A strong position takes planning; adapting when circumstances change takes judgment.
