Carnevale: Escape From San Canciano

In 1793 a great calamity hit the world. The Rent in the Sky tore apart the heavens, destroying most of Italy and flooding Europe. Only one place survived mysteriously unscathed: Venice. In the years since, the Floating City has become a beacon of hope and trade, even as the Rent gazes balefully down, putting the city into a permanent twilight. The residents have changed and adapted to a new world, a world of magic and monsters.

Creatures live deep in the canals, brought through the great tear in reality. These Rashaar are masked by the Church of Dagon, an openly benevolent sect whose home is in the flooded district of San Canciano, among the crumbling buildings and dirty canals.

But there are others in the city that suspect more is afoot. The Guild - a shadowy organisation of thieves and murderers - orders the citizens around. The Guild protect them from evils of the city, but the cost is their loyalty and servitude. The King of Thieves has sent a small gang into San Canciano to discover its secrets, but once they do, the Rashaar will try as hard as they can to make sure no one makes it out alive.

This package encompasses all the essential elements for two players to venture into the putrid waterways of Carnevale. Brace yourself for a game that centres around movement, where you'll need to swim, row, climb, and leap your way through the city. Whether you're lurking in the narrow alleys, executing enemies from above, or submerging them in water, Carnevale presents a fully immersive three-dimensional gameplay experience in a narrative skirmish game.

The contents of this set include two miniature factions - the Guild and the Rashaar - a comprehensive 48-page rulebook detailing the game's lore and regulations, as well as a campaign to embark on. Designed for prompt play, everything in this set is optimized for swift setup and quick comprehension, from the pre-assembled miniatures and snap-together cardboard scenery to the 2'x2' fold-out paper play mat, dice, and handy reference cards for characters, rules, and two introductory scenarios.
