Red Raven Games have another of their beautiful Fantasy board games up for pre-order right now. Now Or Never is another of the board games in their stunning Arzium Storybook Series building on Above And Below and Near And Far.

Now Or Never is, once again, absolutely dripping with gorgeous artwork which charts the journey of up to four characters as they seek to rebuild their village so that others can return to a place of safety.
Each of the players in the game will have asymmetrical abilities which build on the strategies that you'll employ. You'll need to choose what and where to build to maintain an advantage. Long-term planning is the key to success.

As well as building your settlement, you will find yourself hiring specialists for their abilities, combating dangerous creatures that threaten your villagers and explore a fantasy landscape which is packed with bizarre places, technologies and more.

There are two modes of play included in Now Or Never. Story mode has you reading through a storybook as you explore and make choices that affect the world around you. This is probably the way to play the game but Standard mode also allows you to just dive in with a few friends and have fun.
I always like the amount of effort that the team at Red Raven Games put into their games. Their previous products have been lavish but backed up by fun and interesting mechanics. Now Or Never seems to be following that same thread. If you're interested in learning more then check out the Rulebook for yourself.
Are you going to be pre-ordering this one?

Love the art and the concept. Looks great!
its looking good.
Read great BGG reviews on Above and Below and Near and Far. Bought Near and Far, played it, gave it away. N&F was too much of a Eurotrash hybrid — unintuitive Euro mechanics merged with overcomplicated Ameritrash rules. (Oh, and it throws in card-drafting at the start of the game. Good luck, if you’re not familiar with the cards.) And the storybook’s been done better in other “make a choice” thematic games. If you have played complicated Eurogames, though, give it a try before you buy.
