Who it's for

Two-player abstract strategy fans who want a fast, portable duel with real tactical depth and zero luck.

Not for you if…

If you're looking for something to play with more than two people or want thematic storytelling over pure abstract tactics, Leaders is built as a lean head-to-head game rather than either of those.

Vibe's take

Sharp and quick β€” every move matters on the small hex board, with no randomness to hide behind, so each duel feels like pure tactical chess dressed in fantasy champions.

About this game

Leaders is a two-player abstract duel where you recruit four unique champions and maneuver them to capture your rival's Leader on a hexagonal board. There are no dice and no armies clashing β€” victory comes from positioning two champions adjacent to the enemy Leader to capture them outright, or surrounding them so completely they have nowhere left to move. Every game opens with drafting your champion team, so no two duels start from the same position.
