Power in Motion

ARDEVUR: The Game of Resources is a modern mining supply chain simulation board game focused on resource management. Featuring 4 corporations with variable player powers, this competitive 2-4 player game delivers little-to-no-luck experience, with a strategic trade-off between long-term investments and short-term benefits.

The World of ARDEVUR: The Game of Resources.

Set in an era consumed by the pursuit of technological advancement and demand for critical materials that has ignited the greatest Mining Fever in history. Across Africa and Europe, vast territories hide the precious minerals and metals, only accessible to those with the most thought-out strategies to claim and develop them.

In the asymmetric and ever-changing gameplay of ARDEVUR: The Game of Resources, players take control of powerful mining corporations, each with unique strengths and strategies, competing for dominance to extract, trade, and manage resources in a world where every decision matters.

Core Gameplay

The game begins with a territory auction, each location with its own costs and rewards. Once mines and territories are secured, the game moves into a four-phase cycle. Extraction. Strategy. Development and reward.

There’s no luck, only skill, foresight, and strategies.

Players develop their mines and supply chains, deciding each round how to extract resources, secure goods, expand infrastructure, upgrade assets, trade for cash, strike competitors, and pursue strategic goals.

Strategy at Every Turn

Every choice matters, as rewards are earned and control over regions means supremacy. Building an integrated supply chain can increase the corporation’s resource output, operational efficiency, and benefits from selling resources.

The earnings from the sold metals are affected by price fluctuations, making the outcome of each transaction unpredictable and a calculated risk.

Triggering the Endgame

The endgame begins when a player declares “Total Control,” but only if one of three conditions is met: a Gold Target has been claimed, all Bronze and Silver Targets are claimed with no Gold remaining, or a player’s combined Strategic and Government cards total 24 Supremacy Points.

In the 90–150 minutes, only one corporation that has the most efficient strategy and holds the strongest position can reach Total Control.

The Larger Saga

ARDEVUR: The Game of Resources is the first act in a trilogy that maps the full arc of the global supply chain.

The story will soon expand eastward in Material Matters, to Asia and Australia where the game focuses on inland logistics, alternative energy sources, mineral refining and metal smelting, with the goal of producing and exporting raw metals. And continues westward in Techalypse, across the Americas, where metals are transformed into the technologies that shape modern life.
Together, the three volumes converge into ARDEVUR: Total Control – a massive, interconnected megagame where up to eight players fight over the fate of the world’s resources.
