About the game
What you do in a play session
Arena: The Contest – Lizz the Medusa is an exclusive hero that you can add to your Arena arsenal, bringing a touch of fantasy and strategy to miniature battles. The package includes a detailed Lizz miniature, a hero pad for your modular board, four attack cards offering varied tactical options, and a token that can be used in game events. You can use it in both PvP matches and the epic Tanares Adventures campaign, where cooperation and player elimination mechanics blend to create a dynamic and unpredictable experience.
Lizz’s action unfolds in an action queue, allowing players to plan their moves before executing them. Combat takes place on a modular board, with pieces moving on a grid and point‑to‑point, while dice rolls determine the effectiveness of attacks. Each player has variable powers, meaning Lizz’s abilities can change throughout the game, keeping the match fresh and demanding constant adaptation. Player elimination adds a layer of tension, as losing a round can mean the end of your journey.
For those who enjoy combining miniatures, medieval fantasy, and mechanics that require careful planning, Lizz is a worthwhile addition. The moderate language dependency means you’ll need a translated spreadsheet or adapted cards, but the payoff in terms of strategic variety and group fun is huge. If you’re looking for something that fits well into cooperative campaigns and offers a balanced challenge for groups of 1 to 8 players, Lizz the Medusa is the right choice.
