Description
Mages, the land of Cathaira needs your help!
The last Celestial War with the Titans of Yarre` has left the landscape changed. Entropic Energy spreads at an unprecedented rate and the Creatures are becoming volatile and unpredictable as their environment shifts. They are vital to the health of the continent and must be preserved!
Each of you are masters of a Sanctuary, which Entropic Energy cannot easily penetrate. Your distinct prowess and your historical harmony with the land of Cathaira means that only you can Tame these Creatures! Can you manage to offer them protection, and return the presence of Entropic Energy to normal levels?
Honor is to be had, and each of you has the opportunity to be held in the highest regard by mastering the use of Energy, advancing in knowledge, and Taming these Creatures who need your help!
Primordial: Creatures of Pandemonium is a mid-weight, euro resource management game that is played over rounds. During the game, Mages will traverse the landscape, tame mythical creatures, learn skills, become more proficient in Energy use, and manage a Sanctuary to earn more honor than other Mages.
Primary mechanisms of the game include resource management, tableau building, skill-tree progression, and area movement. Additionally, the game features a unique communal bag building element!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- End of game countdown / Purify phase — Trigger countdown to end of game when entropic spread card is empty; during purify phase energy interactions change and endgame scoring occurs.
- end-of-game scoring — Score points from taming, lesson tracks, and remaining energies according to endgame objectives and energy remaining.
- Landscape replenishment — Refill landscapes by sliding cubes left and refilling empty spaces from the bag, with central tile always refilled with white and black energies.
- Meditate — Cost is matching energy; advancing a track immediately grants the newly covered benefit.
- Study — Upgrade your books on the lesson tracks by spending energy and advancing tracks to gain benefits, potentially unlocking end-of-game points.
- Tame a creature — Choose an available creature to tame; requires Mage on a matching hex, pays energy, and adds the creature to your Sanctuary, granting one of several abilities.
- Track Advancement — Upgrade your books on the lesson tracks by spending energy and advancing tracks to gain benefits, potentially unlocking end-of-game points.
- Transform / Transform action — Skill cards can be used for the transform action: discarding two cards for one honor and one black energy; can be used as an unlimited action from that point forward.
- Transmute — Spend three basic energy to gain one white energy at the end of your turn.
- Traverse — Once-per-turn action to move on the map and collect energy; on your first turn you must place Mage on an empty hex and collect energy on that tile; on subsequent turns you may move to an empty adjacent hex or jump over any number of Mages in a straight line to the next empty hex (except your first turn).
