Inferno is a strategic board game based on the famous work The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, taking players directly into the dark world of Hell.
Players take on the role of soul managers, guiding sinners through the nine circles of Hell, with each circle representing a different punishment according to the sin committed.
A unique aspect of the game is that it unfolds across two worlds simultaneously:
- Hell (where you assign and move souls),
- Florence in the 14th century (full of political intrigue, influence, and power struggles).
This blend of the supernatural and the historical gives the game a rich, almost literary atmosphere.
Inferno is a medium-to-heavy strategic game.
Each round is divided into two phases:
- Inferno Phase – you move souls through Hell and try to guide each one correctly to its corresponding circle to earn points (Infamy Points).
- Florence Phase – in the city, you perform actions (e.g., building a tower, gaining influence, or “exposing” sinners who are then sent to Hell).
An important element is Dante’s progression—once he reaches the end of his journey (Purgatory), the game ends, creating time pressure for players.
Inferno is a deep strategic game that blends history, literature, and complex mechanics into a unique experience of guiding souls through Hell. 🔥
