Greylune is an expert-level heroic-fantasy game where players assemble a party of companions, venture out on quests to generate story points, and return to taverns to recount their adventures. It reimagines the core mechanisms of William Attia's earlier game Spyrium through a shared card market, worker placement, and a strategic two-phase sequence structure.

“Despite my grumbles, I think Greylune is fantastic. The little box makes it feel like it's going to be something smaller and lighter, but there's a thick, juicy game here.”

“Greylune is good fun at two players, but I think it gets unlocked at higher player counts. Playing at three is now making me salivate to play with four players!”

“I think overall I enjoy this game. It's a 7.5 for me. It's definitely one that you have to go into knowing you're going to be annoyed at both other players as they put pieces out”(8:47)

“My feelings about Greylune feel at odds with themselves. It's too old, it's chasing fads. It's too static, there are too many variables. People will love Greylune, I'm definitely not among them.”

Space-Biff!, Dan ThurotArticle

“Ultimately, Greylune both impressed me and left me chilly. Its core system is downright smart, and the set dressing around it feels good to handle. But it's like handling a machine; a fidget toy, perhaps, or an orrery, spinning along its foreordained orbit.”
