About the game
Get ready to throw down in Flesh and Blood, a hero-centric fantasy trading card game that puts you in control of epic heroes! Forget those chill board game nights, this is serious business, and the goal is to leave your opponent with zero life. You choose your warrior, equip them with cool weapons and a bunch of gear that gives them that extra edge, and then the battle begins.

The game operates with a straightforward resource system: you 'pitch' (discard) cards from your hand to pay for the costs of your actions and attacks. Each turn is a dance of offense and defense, where played cards enter a 'chain' that resolves step-by-step. Damage is calculated based on the difference between attack and defense values, so every play counts. The last hero standing, with more than 0 life, is the grand victor!

Flesh and Blood shines in tournaments where you build your deck from scratch (Constructed), as well as in more dynamic formats like Booster Draft (where you open packs and build on the spot) and Sealed Deck (where you use what came in the pack). It's a game that demands strategy, good hand management, and a deep understanding of your deck and your opponent. If you enjoy tactical combat, collecting cards, and feeling the adrenaline of a hero's duel, Flesh and Blood is for you!
