Who it's for

Two-player fans who want fast, tactical combat with the feel of a miniatures game but the convenience of cards. Multiple factions add variety.

Not for you if…

Not for players who dislike direct combat or want deep economic strategy. Can feel swingy with card draws.

About this game

Tactical card-combat game where players command fantasy factions on a grid battlefield. Play units, cast spells, and maneuver for position — but the battlefield only resolves when a trigger event fires, making timing and placement critical. Multiple factions in the Master Set.
