In this cooperative adventure, winning and losing become shared experiences, and I promise you—whether you’re tall or small—it will be fun and challenging for everyone.

Welcome to the Realm of Rimembor

Players take on the roles of heroic adventurers in the fantastical land of Rimembor. Forhgot, the Wizard King, has returned from the shadowy void where Wizard Kings are banished, and his evil minions once again torment the local settlements. Brave volunteers—you and your team—have ventured into the dark dungeons of Forhgot to hunt down his sinister generals and end his reign of terror.

Gameplay Overview

Cooperative Adventure

Players must work together to navigate treacherous dungeons, avoiding traps, outsmarting wandering monsters, solving intricate puzzles, and collecting loot to prepare for the ultimate showdown against Forhgot’s generals.

Core Mechanics

- Memory and Strategy: To progress, players reveal Land Cards in search of matching pairs, which are then removed from play. Each match triggers an event—some helpful, others dangerous—that the team must overcome.

- Encounters and Challenges: Along the way, players will uncover treasures, face monsters, dodge traps, solve puzzles, and discover rooms to rest in. Deep within the dungeon lies the Boss Monster, one of the Wizard King’s fearsome generals.

- Memory Tiles: Players must remember personal Memory Tiles to resolve challenges, revealing and matching symbols on their tiles with the threats and obstacles they face. During the climactic battle, players must match their Memory Tiles to the Boss Monster’s symbols before their energy runs out.

Winning the Game

To win, the team must survive all encounters, solve the puzzles, and match every symbol on the Boss Monster’s cards during the final battle. Victory ensures not only the safety of Rimembor but also the chance to carry equipped loot into your next gaming session.

The Origins of Rimembor

Realm of Rimembor was designed by Lars Nielsen as a cooperative game for his daughter, built around the simple yet engaging memory/matching pairs mechanic—one of the first mechanics children learn. The game quickly grew in complexity as expansions introduced new challenges, treasures, and loot. Before long, it migrated to the gaming tables of grown-ups, becoming a beloved experience for families, friends, and rivals. More information is available here The Beginning
