Description
Do you have what it takes to defend Valeria?
For more than a month, the monster-kin have surrounded your fortress at Valeria’s southern border with hordes of monsters and mighty engines of war. Your supplies are nearly exhausted, but you’ve rallied your soldiers and holy troops to meet the foe’s latest surge. If you cannot break the siege in seven days, your fortress will fall and the southern border will crumble.
Siege of Valeria is a quick-playing survival game that tasks players with defending their castle from wave after wave of monstrous enemies. You will use cards and dice to defeat the assault and it is vital that you find clever ways to combo your powers!
This game includes custom dice, and art by The Mico.

Quotes (from this video)
- if you're looking for one two or a dozen great solo games to play at your local coffee shop your grandmother's house or at a porch in a park while knats fly around your face these are going to be some of the ones that I would recommend
- life has been chaotic and busy for the best of reasons and yet being on a road trip for a photography contract uh on my own is one of the only opportunities I've had recently to actually sit down and play some solo games
- if you really like RPGs you really like Grim dark experiential things where you're tracking stats and doing your best to make a decision between no good options you should be paying attention and potentially getting that to your game group
- If you want to play more games like I do and you have less and less time cuz you're about to have a brand new baby like I am well you got to do what you can meaning you set up next to a rock in a beautiful environment when you have an extra 30 minutes
- Remember to do the important thing find time to play a few games even if it's hot muggy and humid outside and there's black flies flying all around

Thematic elements
- tower defense
- a city
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Campaign play — playing across three connected battles. So, you're basically playing three times in a row, but they get connected in a way where you will either get a reward or a penalty for winning or losing.
- Deck Building — There are 20 troop cards and what those look like are some of these cool cards... the troop cards, though, you are taking out two troop cards out of that entire deck.
- Dice Rolling — this is about rolling a bunch of dice which I'll get into in a second.
- Hand Management — once you defeat a troop you actually take it into your hand. It's not just discarded and you have access to that special ability whenever you want to use it.
- Set Collection — elite troops require exact values of dice in order to defeat them.

Quotes (from this video)
- I feel like this is a good example of an expansion that should have been in the base game.
- The expansion is where the full game experience really comes into play.
- I wish that the expansion was not an expansion but rather components included in the base game.

Quotes (from this video)
- I really enjoyed this game I can see why so many people recommended it
- the solo mode plays almost exactly the same way with the exception of the market
- it's not the most ideal way to play Twilight Inscription with AI
- the rule book is a little bit complicated
