About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for an epic clash between good and evil in Regnum Angelica! This strategic card game puts you in the shoes of Gabriel, the leading archangel, or Beelzebub, the prince of darkness, in a battle for the fate of the universe. Each player commands an army of angels or demons, using an exclusive deck (white for good, black for evil) with three types of cards: Angels, your combat units; Angelic Scripts, which grant special powers and unique abilities; and Pillars, which summon elements of nature for defense. The game revolves around a power meter that is charged as your angels interact with the world. Managing this power is crucial, as it dictates your movement and your ability to use the scripts. Will you prioritize movement to invade enemy territory or focus on using scripts for devastating combos? Burn cards for extra energy or save them for powerful combinations? Regnum Angelica offers intriguing tactical decisions with every play, requiring you to think ahead and anticipate your opponent's strategies. It's an intense duel where hand management and making the right choice at the right time can seal victory or defeat. Perfect for those who enjoy strategic two-player games with a touch of fantasy and a rule system that rewards careful planning.
