Review: Guild Academies of Valeria from Daily Magic Games

What do heroes do when they retire? Train the next generation of course. That's what you will be doing in in Guild Academies of Valeria, a stand alone game set in the Valeria universe that’s heavier than most of the other games in the series.

Friday Night Shots - What Does "Solving" a Game Mean? @devirgames.bsky.social @pegasusspiele.bsky.social
