Become a legendary author in your favorite genre and race to complete your masterpiece!
Novel is a competitive strategy race to craft the world’s most captivating story. Juggle characters, scenes, settings, and inspiration while charming the muses and dodging writer’s block in a cozy, neat euro for literature geeks, aspiring writers, and anyone who loves strategic board games.
Become an eccentric, well-known author in your favorite genre: horror, romance, mystery, fantasy, or sci-fi. Gather your plot points, draft your chapters, carefully manage your resources, and race to finish your book. But watch out! The table fills with muses, sideplots, writer’s blocks, and even dramatic interruptions from meddling villains.
Lay out your story in a literal sense. Scene and setting tiles form a visual manuscript for each player, page by page. Your board becomes a narrative mosaic that grows, twists, and surprises in unique ways, and no two novels look the same.
Roll the shared die into the pillar of books: a clever dice tower that reveals three faces of the die at the same time for simultaneous actions and fast-paced gameplay. No waiting. Just constant engagement and decisions that matter.
Pick a distinct author persona and lean into asymmetric powers that pair with genre-specific strategies. Maybe you are a brooding horror icon or a swooning romance star. Your route to The End feels definitively yours, with clever combos and different paths to victory.
The muses are watching. Their blessings spark bursts of inspiration, nudge timing windows, and sometimes vanish right when you need them most. This myth-tinted layer adds charm and tactical tension. Court them wisely or risk a creative crisis at the worst moment.
