Rauha (ML)

After millennia of sterility, life has returned to Rauha. As a powerful Shaman, one of the planet's five worlds has been entrusted to your care. Your goal is to shape its landscapes, encourage the growth of wildlife and vegetation, and guide civilizations toward prosperity as you transform your world into a thriving source of Life Energy.

Over the course of two Ages, you gradually build a unique ecosystem using an innovative drafting game system. Biome cards strengthen your personal world while carefully arranged symbols allow you to recruit powerful Divine Entities with unique abilities. Every choice affects future activations and influences how efficiently your world develops.

One of Rauha's most distinctive features is its activation system. By moving your avatar around the edge of your personal 3 x 3 board, you trigger the effects of specific rows and columns. Positioning biomes, animals, and divine entities becomes a fascinating puzzle that rewards careful planning and creative combinations.

You will enjoy Rauha if you love strategy board games, engine building, meaningful decisions, and peaceful thematic experiences. The rules are approachable, yet the game offers impressive depth through its combinations, timing decisions, and evolving player powers.

Interesting fact: the word "Rauha" means "peace" in Finnish. This perfectly reflects the game's philosophy, which focuses on harmony and development rather than direct conflict. Interaction comes through drafting decisions and competition for Divine Entities without creating aggressive gameplay.

Designed by Johannes Goupy and Théo Rivière and illustrated by O'lee, Rauha features a striking visual identity filled with vibrant colours, fantastical creatures, and lush environments. Fans of engine-building games, tableau builders, and nature-themed games will discover a thoughtful and rewarding experience that remains engaging from beginning to end.
