Puppet Guardian is based in a castle divided into eight towers. Each tower is its own separate board game.
I - Forest of the Beetle[]
"Into each of the eight towers, I have sealed memories of a journey with my beloved wife, Yun. Each tower represents a different land we traveled in this realm. These memories are part of the magic, which will revitalize Yun, heal her spirit, and keep her body pure while she rests in the afterlife.
Tower I is a remembrance of the mystic forest where she and I exchanged our vows of love and matrimony. And it is where we began our journey to end the curse of Shasura, which has cast such evil upon our lands."

But our enemies are clever and determined, so this defense alone will not suffice. I will also carve a mural on the castle wall, engraved with the brave souls of 10,000 Guardians.

Guardians, you will need this mirror to shield the castle. Be careful as you venture into this world, for the deadly vampires Lester and Mirald still lurk in its dark recesses. Stay alert, for the vampire is stronger than anyone can dream.
Shasura claims the Magic Mirror as his own. He is a fierce wizard and a cruel one. It was he who killed my beloved wife Yun. If he regains the Mirror, he can overpower and control the people of our lands. He will spare no malicious cost to regain this magic. So, my Guardian friends, by ready. When he comes you must stop him."

You will also find the scene of our final battle-where Yun lost her life. To survive, you must fight the macabre Phantom Guardians, who escort the White Dragon, Burisarigon. This merciless serpent serves Shasura as a loyal lieutenant. When confronting the Phantom Guardians, be on guard, for they known the weaknesses of real Puppet Guardians and they can do you serious harm.
Remember, you are keepers of this castle. You are Puppet Guardians whom I have created by magic. As you read this, the Sorcerer Shasura draws very near in his quest to capture the castle. The prospect of death stirs such fear in him that he uses the limits of his magic to extend his own life. He lives to see the day when this place belongs to him and its power and treasure are his. The safety of this castle, our sanctuary, depends on your ability to protect the Magic Mirror.
This mirror was created by Shasura to transport its users in a warp of time and place to any destination they desire. Shasura terrified by the rulers of the world by using it for assassination and mayhem. Had we not captured it, the 13 Kingdoms, allies against aggression, would have fallen. I fear that I cannot describe precisely where the mirror is hidden without putting it in jeopardy, but this much you must know, that which reflects also changes shape and slumbers. It is found in a blessed land above the clouds in a clear celestial sky where no rain ever falls."
