The village you lived in was ransacked by barbarians. You barely had time to take your child and your favourite fishing rod before they started burning and looting. You then wandered into a relentless desert. Then you found it! The perfect place to build your new home. But as soon as your makeshift shelter was built, you discovered a vast network of underground caverns full of treasures and rare resources. Above and Below is a mix of city building and narrative gameplay in which you and up to three other players compete to build the best village above and below ground. In the game you send your villagers to do jobs such as underground exploration, resource harvesting and house building. Each villager has unique skills and abilities and you must decide how best to use them.
You have your own village council and you send villagers from that council to different locations to do their work. Do you send Hanna to explore the cave? Or should she spend her time teaching one of the young villagers important skills? In this narrative board game, you will have to build your village. Recruit villagers to explore huge caverns in underground caves. Forge your reputation by accomplishing feats worthy of the greatest explorers!
