The world of narrative board gaming is evolving, and publisher IELLO is set to make a significant impact with its brand-new range: Fragments. The first installment, titled Solara, plunges players into a desert quest where every puzzle piece might just be the key to your destiny.
An Innovative Concept: The Narrative Puzzle
Forget traditional puzzle boxes where you pack everything away once the picture is complete. In Fragments: Solara, the puzzle is the engine of the story. Designed by Yohan Servais and beautifully illustrated by Noémie Chevalier and Jiahui Eva Gao, the game involves using and manipulating puzzle pieces to progress through an immersive narrative.
“The narrative will be the guiding thread of your adventure, but it is through the use and manipulation of jigsaw pieces that the adventure will truly unfold.” — IELLO
