Pteridomania is a board game designed around asymmetry, where each player embodies a unique character with distinct motives and play styles. This design creates a layered experience, as players navigate their own personalized mini-games while interacting on a shared main board. The interplay of individual objectives and collective competition fosters dynamic strategy, encouraging players to balance their personal goals with the challenges and opportunities presented by others. This approach highlights the game's ability to offer a rich and varied experience, where no two characters—or games—are ever the same.
