Forbidden Finals

Forbidden Finals is an indie board game to play with your family and friends.

It’s the last night before the exams, and you play as students who have broken into the Forbidden Library. Will you manage to prepare for the Final Test in just one night, or will you summon chaos demons instead?

Players take turns studying chaos manuscripts in an attempt to improve their skills and theoretical knowledge and prepare for the Final Test. At the same time, they must keep an eye on the level of chaotic energy and destruction in the library. Otherwise, their study rush could be stopped by an invasion of either chaos demons or angry professors.
