Legends At War

Description

Legends At War is a game of mythic strategy. At the edge of time and imagination, an epic war is being waged. Born from the dreams and nightmares of mankind, legendary beings and creatures are uniting to crush their enemies. Strategy, power, and betrayal force allegiances to shift... until one alliance dominates the rest! In LAW, 2 to 4 players command armies of legendary gods, heroes, and monsters. These armies are summoned from pantheons representing diverse cultures - the Master Set includes characters from Norse, Greek, Japanese, and Native American mythologies – each with its own unique strategies. Each character is represented by a card with a distinct combination of battle stats on its four edges. Many cards have special abilities which allow them to strengthen their allies, weaken their enemies, or bend the normal rules of the game. During battles, players take turns placing their cards on a modular grid board. Players can capture their opponents' cards by placing their own cards on adjacent spaces north, south, east, or west. The stats on the cards' touching edges are then compared. If the defender's stat is higher, the defending player keeps their card. If the attacker's stat is higher, then the card is successfully captured and now fights for the attacking player. Special abilities can influence the results of an attack, and set the board up for future combos. The goal of each battle is to take control of the most cards on the board. Between battles, players can upgrade their themed pantheon decks with more powerful cards, by sacrificing forces captured from opponents. After three battles, the player who has captured the most enemy forces wins the game. The Ragnarok game variant allows players to mix and match characters from different pantheons, and expands the battlefield with additional modular boards after each round. In the single-round Skirmish variant, players duel using custom card combinations, to prove who can construct and play the best mini-deck. With an expanding list of mythical characters and modular board pieces to choose from, Legends At War provides endless replay value!
