A tabletop miniatures game set in a dark, post-apocalyptic fantasy world. Players take on the roles of Petromancers, powerful necromancers who animate ancient stone statues to engage in fierce battles amidst the ruins of a lost civilization. This game delves into themes of decay, the fading remnants of humanity, and the ongoing struggle for power in a world forever changed by war, plague and forgotten history.
In the 2nd Edition, you will find tons of new statue parts, spells, scenarios, a Neutral Trait, an upgraded movement system, and a brand-new campaign system!
Key Features:
- Accessible and Streamlined Gameplay
- Only Statues Remain is designed to be easy to learn and play, requiring minimal space and a small number of miniatures. The game uses only six-sided dice for all actions, simplifying the experience while keeping the gameplay engaging.
- The Ruins
- The game is set in a grim, decaying world known as the Ruins, where the once-proud civilization of humanity has crumbled due to endless wars and devastating plagues. In this new world, necromancers have become the most powerful figures, turning their mastery over death into control over stone. These transformed necromancers, now known as Petromancers, animate statues of stone and metal to fight in their name and wage war for dominance.
- Turn-Based Strategy
- A unique resource based activation engine! Each player takes turns activating their Petromancers spells and their statues, making strategic decisions about movement, combat, and resource management. Every move is critical, as the fate of your warband depends on your ability to outwit and outmaneuver your opponent.
- Statue Mechanics – Customization & Upgrades
- One of the unique aspects of Only Statues Remain is the ability to customize and upgrade your statues. Players can choose different abilities and attributes based on the statues' histories, enhancing their effectiveness in combat. Statues can be repaired, dismantled for resources, or even enhanced with new powers, adding a deeper layer of tactical decision-making. The size of your statues also plays a key role, affecting mobility, defense, and attack range—bigger statues are stronger but slower, while smaller ones are agile and precise.
- Exploration and Rewards
- The game doesn't end after the battle; players can explore the environment between encounters to scavenge for valuable resources, learn powerful spells, and even discover new statue pieces. This feature encourages deeper strategy and character development as players prepare for future engagements.
- Celebrating Unpainted Miniatures
- In this second edition, Only Statues Remain continues to celebrate the use of unpainted or gray miniatures. These miniatures are not just pieces on the battlefield – they are integral to the game's lore and mechanics. Each unpainted statue tells its own story, and part of the experience is bringing them to life with your imagination.
