Invokyr Beginner Guide
Learn the Core Invokyr Gameplay Loop
Invokyr combines board-game movement, dice management, house exploration, and survival decisions. New players should focus on understanding the turn sequence, sharing information with teammates, and avoiding unnecessary risks while progressing toward the end of the board.
Understand the Objective
Your group must progress through the cursed board while exploring the house and dealing with threats. Coordinate movement and actions so the team can continue advancing instead of spending resources on avoidable setbacks.
- Check the current board position before deciding what to do next.
- Discuss risky actions with the group before committing.
- Treat survival and board progress as equally important goals.
Roll and Manage Your Dice
Dice determine the results of important actions during a run. Read the result before choosing an approach, and avoid spending valuable dice effects when a safer option is available.
- Do not use every useful result immediately.
- Save flexible or powerful effects for dangerous encounters.
- Coordinate dice usage in multiplayer instead of acting independently.
Explore the House Carefully
House exploration creates opportunities to discover useful progress and resources, but it can also expose the group to danger. Search methodically and keep track of routes, threats, and unresolved objectives.
- Avoid splitting the group without a clear reason.
- Remember locations that may become important later.
- Leave an escape route whenever a threat may be nearby.
React to Monsters
Monsters can change the safest route through the house and force players to choose between hiding, escaping, or taking a calculated risk. Identify the threat quickly and prioritize team survival over unnecessary confrontation.
- Pay attention to tracking or pursuit signals.
- Move away from danger before continuing optional exploration.
- Use teamwork to protect players with fewer resources.
Complete the Board Sequence
The run continues as the group advances across the board and resolves the events connected to each position. Keep checking the board state after major actions so the team is prepared for the next trigger.
- Expect the board to introduce new pressure as the run develops.
- Do not assume a previously safe route will remain safe.
- Prioritize actions that keep the group capable of progressing.
Invokyr Dice Guide
Turn Dice Results into Better Decisions
Dice are more than simple action checks: they are a limited decision-making resource. Strong play comes from judging the danger of the current situation, preserving useful results for later, and coordinating special effects so the whole group benefits.
Ordinary Dice
Ordinary dice provide the basic results used to resolve routine actions and move the run forward. They are most valuable when the situation is stable and the group can afford a predictable outcome.
Use them for standard actions, low-risk progress, and situations where saving a special effect is more important.
Spending them freely can leave the team without a reliable option when a dangerous event appears.
Special Dice
Special dice provide stronger or more distinctive effects than ordinary results. Their value increases when the team is under pressure or needs to overcome an unusually difficult situation.
Reserve them for monster encounters, critical board moments, or actions that protect the team from a major setback.
Using one too early may solve a minor problem while leaving the group exposed to a later threat.
Save or Spend
Before using a valuable die, compare the immediate benefit with the likely danger created by keeping it. A safe action may be preferable when the next board or house event is still unknown.
Save resources when the team is healthy and has an escape route; spend them when failure could stop progress or endanger multiple players.
Saving too much can be just as dangerous if the current threat becomes impossible to manage.
Coordinate with Teammates
In multiplayer games, dice are most effective when players discuss their results before acting. One player can take a routine action while another preserves a special result for the next threat.
Assign dice based on role, position, and the danger facing each player rather than letting everyone spend independently.
Poor coordination can waste multiple useful results on the same problem.
Use Dice at the Right Moment
The best time to spend a special result is usually when it changes the outcome of a meaningful decision. Avoid using powerful effects merely because they are available.
Spend high-value dice when they secure board progress, create an escape, or prevent a monster from controlling the route.
Waiting too long may allow the threat to narrow the team's available choices.
Invokyr Monsters Guide
Identify Threats Before They Control the House
Monster encounters are dangerous because they add pressure to an already limited set of choices. The safest response is to recognize the threat early, communicate its position, and choose between avoidance, retreat, and a carefully timed counteraction.
Early-Warning Threats
A threat that becomes dangerous when the group ignores warning signs or continues exploring without checking its surroundings.
How to Recognize
- Watch for changes in the current house situation.
- Share information immediately when one player notices danger.
- Reassess the route before committing to optional exploration.
Pause the exploration plan, regroup, and choose a route that preserves space for retreat.
The player with the clearest view of the danger should communicate the next safe direction.
Tracking Threats
A threat that can pressure the group by following or narrowing the available escape routes.
How to Recognize
- Keep track of where the threat was last observed.
- Do not assume that moving out of sight removes the danger.
- Avoid leading the threat toward isolated teammates.
Move as a group when possible and prioritize distance, open routes, and actions that prevent the threat from forcing a bad decision.
Designate one player to monitor the threat while the others focus on progress.
Route-Blocking Threats
A threat that makes a familiar path unsafe and forces the team to reconsider how it reaches the next objective.
How to Recognize
- Check whether the intended route still has a safe exit.
- Compare the cost of taking a longer route with the risk of passing the threat.
- Do not trap a player in a dead-end position.
Use an alternate path, delay the action, or spend a suitable resource only when doing so protects future movement.
Keep at least one player positioned where they can support a retreat or recovery.
Close-Encounter Threats
A threat that is already close enough to make ordinary exploration unsafe.
How to Recognize
- Treat immediate survival as the priority.
- Stop spending resources on optional actions.
- Confirm who can escape and who may need assistance.
Retreat, hide, or use a high-value dice effect when the alternative is losing control of the encounter.
Make one clear decision as a group instead of splitting the team through conflicting actions.
Invokyr Board Rules
Read the Cursed Board as the Run Develops
The cursed board structures the run by turning movement into a sequence of decisions and consequences. Players should treat every board position as part of the larger flow: advancing may create progress, but it can also trigger events that change the house, the available routes, or the pressure applied by the Gamemaster.
The group advances through board positions as actions and dice results move the run forward.
- Check the current position before resolving the next action.
- Resolve the effect connected to the position before continuing.
- Update the team plan after every meaningful change to the board state.
Invokyr Co-op Strategy
Build a reliable co-op plan before every expedition
Successful co-op runs depend on clear communication and disciplined resource use. Assign responsibilities before setting out, agree on an exploration route, and treat rescue and retreat decisions as part of the plan rather than last-second reactions.
Assign responsibilities before moving out
Decide who leads navigation, who watches the rear, who manages shared resources, and who is responsible for checking optional paths. Clear roles reduce duplicated actions and help the team react faster when danger appears.
- Keep the group within practical support distance.
- Use short callouts for threats, blocked routes, supplies, and retreat signals.
- Reassign roles when a player is down or the party changes direction.
Choose a route with fallback options
Start with a route that gives the party access to useful exploration opportunities without committing all resources too early. Mark a fallback direction before entering risky areas so the team can disengage without splitting up.
- Explore side paths only when the team has enough health and supplies.
- Avoid sending one player far ahead without a clear regroup point.
- Use completed areas as safe reference points when planning the return route.
Share resources according to team needs
Treat healing, equipment, and other limited supplies as team assets. Give priority to the player who can immediately turn the resource into survival, progress, or a safer rescue rather than distributing everything evenly.
- Keep a reserve for emergencies instead of spending every item immediately.
- Tell the team before taking a shared resource from a contested area.
- Compare current needs with the planned route before committing valuable supplies.
Rescue teammates without creating a second casualty
A rescue should begin only after the remaining players have checked nearby threats and identified an escape direction. Stabilize the area first, then recover the downed teammate while maintaining a defensive position.
- Call out who is rescuing and who is covering.
- Do not rush into an unsafe area solely because a teammate is down.
- After a rescue, regroup before continuing deeper into the expedition.
Recognize the right moment to retreat
Retreat when the party has lost formation, key resources, or a safe route forward. A controlled withdrawal preserves progress and gives the team a better chance of completing the next attempt.
- Use one agreed retreat phrase so every player understands the decision.
- Move toward a known safe route instead of scattering in different directions.
- Do not extend a run just to recover a small reward after the risk has become excessive.
Invokyr Items and Upgrades
Spend limited resources where they matter most
The safest approach is to separate immediate survival needs from long-term improvements. During the early phase, protect the run with efficient purchases; in the middle phase, strengthen the team's weaknesses; and in the late phase, spend saved resources only when they directly improve completion chances.
Early game
Survival and consistencyRecommended Focus: Keep basic recovery and essential utility available before buying optional improvements.
Resource Rule: Avoid spending the entire starting pool on a single upgrade when the team still lacks flexibility.
Avoid: High-cost choices that provide little immediate value during the first exploration sections.
Early-to-mid game
Core build improvementRecommended Focus: Upgrade the equipment or abilities that support the team's chosen approach and reduce repeated resource loss.
Resource Rule: Prioritize upgrades that remain useful across multiple encounters instead of narrow, situational bonuses.
Avoid: Duplicating the same function across every player when the party still lacks coverage in another area.
Mid game
Team coverageRecommended Focus: Fill gaps in defense, recovery, mobility, or damage so the party can handle varied encounters without relying on one player.
Resource Rule: Coordinate purchases before entering a difficult section and reserve at least one emergency option.
Avoid: Buying an upgrade solely because it is available when it does not support the current route or party composition.
Late game
Completion powerRecommended Focus: Convert remaining resources into the strongest practical improvements for the final objective or most dangerous encounters.
Resource Rule: Spend aggressively only after confirming that the purchase improves the immediate plan.
Avoid: Holding every resource until the end when an earlier investment could have prevented losses.
Reward and shop decisions
Value over rarityRecommended Focus: Compare an item's immediate effect, repeat usefulness, and compatibility with the team before choosing it.
Resource Rule: Treat rewards as part of the complete build rather than evaluating them in isolation.
Avoid: Choosing a rare-looking option that does not match the party's route, role distribution, or current weaknesses.
