## Description
Embark on a dark and action-packed journey with Hybrid, a miniatures game that plunges you headfirst into the Aarklash universe. The story begins with Dirz, the leader of the Scorpion Empire, experiencing an apocalyptic vision that drives him to a secret and sinister project: the Hybrid Code. But before he could reap the fruits of his dark intentions, Shamir, the Alchemical capital, is attacked, and Dirz disappears, leaving his Hybrid Code laboratories adrift and sinking into oblivion.

Decades later, immense energy released by a mysterious ritual reactivates the forgotten Hybrid Code sanctuaries. Now, terrifying monsters burst forth from the earth's depths in Akkylannie, threatening to annihilate the village of Glasinhar. Only a handful of brave warriors, the Templars of the Lodge of Hod, stand between these impious creatures and the rest of the continent. Prepare for a bloody battle in the labyrinthine and gloomy corridors of these underground laboratories!

Hybrid stands out with its modular board, allowing you to create ten perilous missions from the basic booklet or invent your own laboratory scenarios, ensuring high replayability. The game mechanics use 10-sided dice to resolve actions, and each combatant's capabilities are detailed in four main characteristics, complemented by various special Aptitudes. Your warrior can, for example, emit a battle aura or grow stronger with each defeated enemy. Capacity tables describe the feats your combatant can perform at critical moments. The basic box includes 13 miniatures, 110 cards, 9 modular boards, and 2 dice, featuring two factions ready for combat: the Templars of Hod (Griffins of Akkylannie) and Dirz's alchemical creatures, including the perfect warrior prototype, the Aberration. Miniatures are compatible with other Rackham games like Confrontation and Rag' Narok, and some parts are interchangeable, allowing for customization.
