About the game
What you do in a play session
Fantasy Realms: Phoenix is a promotional card that won a Spanish contest organized by Looping Games in 2020. Created by fans and chosen by Bruce Glassco, the game's author, it introduces an exciting twist: it’s the first multiclass card in Fantasy Realms. As a Beast with a strength of 14, it also counts as a Flame and Weather card, offering unique strategic combinations. But beware: if it’s BLANKED for any reason (like when paired with a Flood card), its base strength drops to 0, though it retains its suits. Initially distributed at GenCon 2021, this card was included in Spanish copies of Fantasy Realms: The Cursed Hoard and later made available through Kickstarter campaigns. A fun addition for those looking to spice up the base game.
