About the game

What you do in a play session

Clout Fantasy throws you into a universe where physical dexterity and strategy meet in a combat of collectible tokens. Imagine having an army of chips, each with its own 'Clout points,' abilities, and effects. Your goal is to build a stack of 15 chips, respecting a Clout limit, and then toss them into the play area like sturdy poker chips. How they land on the table is crucial, as it activates their individual effects – we're talking about protection, poison, weakening, or even strengthening other nearby chips. The precision of your toss can change the tide of battle! After the chips land, the action continues with the possibility of attacking opposing chips. Some chips have special tricks, like the 'Taunt' ability, which forces attacks to focus on them first. As the battle progresses, chips are eliminated until all players have tossed their stacks. In the end, whoever has the most Clout remaining in the play area, plus extra points for proximity between chips, takes the victory. Diversity is high: there are common and unique chips, with different 'types' like effects, characters, and bases, which adds a collectible flavor and expands strategic possibilities. If you enjoy a challenge that blends hand planning with a good dose of aiming, Clout Fantasy is an interesting choice.
