Description

Venice, 1795. A great tear has opened, ripping the heavens open. The Rent in the Sky sank most of Europe beneath the waves, but the City of Canals stands unscathed. Positioned to take advantage of the situation, the people of Venice are fast becoming a new world power.

Yet life under the Rent in the Sky isn’t without its problems. Bubbling under the surface of the city is a madness, fuelled by Eldritch beasts that have found a way through the Rent from another reality. The Rashaar are silently growing in number, living in the canals. While their existence is kept secret from most, the Guild makes secrets their trade. With hands in pockets across Venice, this shadowy band of thieves is becoming more powerful than even the Doge would like to admit.

Taking to the streets at night to conduct their elicit affairs; the Rashaar and the Guild frequently clash, met with rival gangs from all over, masked and armed. Violence is common under the light of the Rent, the canals often run red with the previous night’s deeds while the city carries on with its business and revelries.

Welcome to Carnevale.

This boxed set has everything you need to get started in the deadly world of Carnevale. With full rules, extensive background, two gangs of intricately sculpted single-piece miniatures, and even a full game board to play on, this is the easiest way to dive into the canals and start playing.

With an emphasis on running, jumping, scaling walls, leaping across rooftops and then jumping onto your opponents from above, the game offers a unique setting with rules designed from the water up to complement the city of Venice. Throwing enemies off buildings and drowning them in the canals is only the start; with dozens of scenarios to play, this narrative skirmish game will keep you slipping your mask on night after night to take control of Venice and uncover the secrets of the Rent in the Sky.

This massive box contains so many components!

  • 16 unique resin miniatures – 8 members of the Guild including the enigmatic Capodecina and the harpoonthrowing Fishermen; 7 Rashaar led by the mysterious Magi-Rashaar, and backed up by beasts like the Lesser Ugdru and towering Raadru. There’s even a gondola to paddle around the canals! These miniatures are all one-piece, meaning you can get playing with minimal assembly time.
  • Carnevale rulebook – the complete 240-page book filled to the brim with background and easy-to-learn rules. There are sections on each faction in Venice, as well as a campaign for each, offering 35 individual scenarios to play through.
  • 8 cardboard buildings and 9 cardboard gaming tiles – allowing you to build a district of Venice in mere minutes, these buildings fold together and apart, allowing for easy storage. The 1’x1’ gaming tiles are double-sided, with canal sections on one side and water sections on the other, giving you thousands of options for gaming.
  • Benvenuti a Venezia campaign book – teaching you how to play the game through a series of narrative scenarios. Also included are quick reference sheets for ease of play, and character cards for each miniature in the box.
  • Dice, templates, ruler & counters – 12 ten-sided dice to use for Carnevale’s Destiny Dice mechanic, as well as 2 templates and a ruler cut in red acrylic and enough acrylic counters for keeping track of various effects. There’s even a metal coin, perfect for deciding first turn and for using as an objective.

    Insane value. I bought that one just to get some commoner models and some cheap DnD scenery. Stayed for the game.
    Carnevale is a fast paced skirmish game with the gameplay inspired by the assasin’s creed and the storyline inspired by Cthulu Mythos and pasta. The rules are streamlined and much emphasis is put on movement. There are simple uniform rules for swimming, climbing and jumping that add a lot of variety to the gameplay. Given that the game is set in alternative history Venice you get plenty of the three. There are 7 factions:

    -The Guild – Commoner Mafia that does parkour well and is strong in numners
    -The Rashaar – Cthulu Deep Ones and various cultists. Lots of giant monsters and magic. Good swimmers.
    -The Patricians – Rich psychopaths Paddy Bateman style, They are very elite (as in good stats but priced accordingly) and have lots of guns
    -The Vatican – The Vatican. Have armoured knights and spell-flinging priests. Tough as nails and will come up on top of any stand-up fight, but vertically and aquatically challenged.
    -The Doctors – A Steampunk faciton with guns, magic and an asylum that takes in healthy people and spits out madmen. Never played them or against them.
    -The Strigoi – Vampires lead by Vlad Dracula. Glass cannons and half ot them can fly.
    -The Gifted -Superheroes. Can „lend” their characters to other factions. Can also play as a faction in their own right, but are highly overcosted.

    There is a good variety of scenarios and game modes and one can play up to 4 players at one table.
    The box comes with a legal Rashaar starter set, a one for the Guild and plenty of cardboard terrain. The terrain looks great and can be used for the other games. The minis look great and they are not busy which I love. They look exactly capable of doing what they are supposed to do and fit into the aesthethic of the setting. The minis are detailed no less and fun to paint (once you wash that resin) , but they are on the larger side of 32 scale.
    You also get the dice, some counters and measuring tools. Overall all you need to start the game.
    In the pack there are the characters stat cards, a tutorial campaign (it’s great to walk you through the rules), and the rulebook. The rulebook itself is stunning with a 50/50 fluff to crunch ratio. Genuinely you feel your characters are a part of the setting and there are stakes involved. Much emphasis is put on the metaplot and after reading the rulebook you can make your own plausible scenarios and campaigns.
    Lastly, it’s a living game with an active welcoming community. It is not a big community mind you, so you are likely splitting that box with a friend. For 52 pounds it’s a baragin and it’s worth trying out, especially if you’re thinking of branching out of the geedubs or WoTc franchises.
