## Description
Get ready to enter the arena of Godtear, a tactical skirmish game for two players where brutality and strategy collide on a hex-based map. Here, you command a warband of powerful champions and warriors in a frantic struggle to control the legendary 'Godtears'. The game is scenario-driven, meaning every match brings new challenges and specific rules, keeping the experience fresh and unpredictable.

The core dynamic revolves around the battle's 'momentum'. Imagine a battle ladder where a turn token slides back and forth. To pull this token toward your side and dominate the round, you need to be aggressive and strategic: knocking out enemy champions provides a massive leap on the marker, while taking down smaller followers grants gradual progress. Additionally, holding objective hexes and making claim actions during the plot phase are essential to maintaining the upper hand.

What makes Godtear truly stand out is its learning curve. It is designed for a quick start—miniatures come pre-assembled and pre-colored, removing the tedious painting phase—yet the tactical depth is immense. If you enjoy progression, the campaign mode allows your champions to grow in power, customizing the experience as you advance through the narrative. At the end of each turn, the player holding the turn token wins the round and earns victory points. The first to reach 5 victory points is crowned the winner. Whether for balanced competitive tournaments or a narrative adventure, Godtear delivers the feeling of an epic clash with high variability.
