GOSU

GOSU is set in a goblin-ruled fantasy world where, when the blood moon rises, a new war begins and new warlords raise their armies. You are one of those warlords, recruiting soldiers, heroes, magicians and other goblin classes, then sending the army into action against the others. Five clans of goblins appear on the cards in three ranks, and you must recruit rank I goblins first, then build on them with rank II and finally rank III. Higher ranks only come into play when a lower one is already on the table. It feels like Race for the Galaxy meets Magic: The Gathering in one box. Two to four players, around forty-five minutes, best with two.
