About the game
What you do in a play session
Alright, folks! Ready to decide if you'll be the next great hero or the most feared supervillain? In KAPOW! Volume 2, the choice is yours in this fully customizable dice game! Here, your dice pool is the key to unleashing a variety of incredible superpowers. You'll dive headfirst into the role of six different characters, each with their own special abilities and a unique twist on the gameplay experience. Get ready for an epic showdown, a classic clash between good and evil, where strategy is just as important as the luck of the dice. By choosing your side, you define your starting trait dice and a set of unique abilities that will make all the difference in battle. But the fun doesn't stop there! You can supercharge your character with blank 'action dice' that have removable faces. That's right, you can customize these dice however you want to further enhance your hero or villain. Behind your player screen, the tension builds: you roll the dice and then strategically allocate them between attack, defense, and power-up abilities. The combination of how you expand your dice pool, how you customize your action die faces, and how you use each roll leads to a super satisfying strategic showdown. This volume brings six new supers: Mindset, Spore, and Crescendo are the good guys, while Fuse, 235, and Reverb are the bad guys. And the best part? You can combine this volume with KAPOW! Volume 1 to mix and match characters and create insane combinations, or even play with up to four friends in an even more chaotic match!
