About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a delicious duel! Mindbug: Battlefruit Kingdom is a standalone expansion that thrusts you into an epic war between the Pineapple Paladin Kingdom and the fearsome Lychee King. Forget those generic card games; here, you'll plant hybrid fruit and vegetable creatures to dominate the battlefield. The standout feature of this edition is the introduction of the 'Harvest' mechanic, which rewards players who keep their creatures alive for a few turns, unlocking devastating abilities. Additionally, the new 'FAST' keyword shifts the game's pace, allowing for immediate attacks that can flip the score in a heartbeat.

But don't think it's just about playing cards on the table and hoping for the best. This is a high-level tactical duel where bluffing and hand management are essential. You'll need to protect your creations while trying to figure out what your opponent is hiding. And watch out: just as you try to crush your opponent, they might use a 'Mindbug' to take control of one of your creatures, turning your best strategy into a weapon against you. The best part is that despite its strategic depth, it remains incredibly accessible and fast-paced. If you already own other Mindbug sets, you can mix them in to create even more chaotic and unpredictable matches. It's the perfect balance between a simple card game for a quick break and a complex strategic duel for those who love to outsmart their opponents.
