## Description
Ever wondered what it would be like to have the adrenaline of a TCG (Trading Card Game) without the hassle of buying hundreds of boosters and praying for a rare pull? That's exactly what Epic delivers. You step into the shoes of an Elder God engaged in an epic clash against other deities. Your goal is simple: bring your opponents' health down to zero using powerful champions and game-changing events. It provides the full deck-building experience, but everything you need is contained in a single box.

The gameplay is fluid and smart. You don't have to waste turns playing 'energy' or 'land' cards just to get things moving; you receive gold automatically every turn. This means the action is fast-paced: you choose which card you want to play, rather than figuring out if you're even allowed to play anything. The game features four distinct alignments—Blue (Master), Yellow (Benevolent), Green (Wild), and Red (Evil)—which define your playstyle and deck synergies.

With 120 unique cards and a few temporary champion tokens, the content is substantial. You can jump straight in with pre-constructed decks or dive into the draft format to build on the fly. If you own multiple boxes, the variety increases exponentially, allowing for the creation of a 'cube' for professional drafting. It's a strategic combat game where hand management and the ability to land a devastating 'take that' move are key. If you love fantasy, intense battles, and the satisfaction of pulling off a massive combo, Epic puts all that power in your hands without requiring a fortune in collectible cards.

## FAQ
### Do I need to buy more cards for the game to be fun?
Nope! Unlike Magic or Pokémon, Epic comes with everything you need in a single box.

### How long does a match last?
Usually between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on the number of players.

### Is it hard to learn?
It's medium weight (2.5). The turn sequence is simple, but the combo strategies and hand management require some focus.

### How many people can play?
One box supports 2 to 4 players. With more boxes, you can expand up to 8 players.

### Is it recommended for people who dislike 'Take That' mechanics?
Probably not. The game features direct attacks and cards that hinder opponents, so get ready for some rivalry!
