About the game
What you do in a play session
In the game, each participant assembles their team of iconic characters, equipping them with powerful weapons, spells, and gear. The big twist is the construction of a 20-card fate deck, which is essential for activating your characters on the battlefield. You decide how to distribute these cards: want to focus all the power on the muscular He-Man? Go ahead, but remember that victory might be harder alone! The cool thing is that the game gives you a lot of control over luck. Unlike many dice-based combat games, here you can spend mana to reroll stubborn dice, use focus actions to increase your chances, and even leverage the environment to your advantage. Victory is achieved by accumulating points by knocking out enemy characters, controlling strategic objectives, and fulfilling secret side missions. At the end of the fourth round, whoever has the most victory points claims glory! It's an experience full of strategy, nostalgia, and incredible miniatures.
