Forget the full cooperation of Sentinels of the Multiverse, because things are different here: teams face off on a hex-grid map that simulates terrain. Each player commands one or more characters, each with their unique game-changing abilities. Get ready to roll some dice and see who lands the hit, but remember that positioning and line of sight (who sees whom!) are crucial. The modular board ensures every battle is a new challenge, and the grid movement with action points forces you to think carefully about each step. It's a competitive game, but don't be fooled, teamwork within your own squad is essential to emerge victorious. If you enjoy tactical combat games with characters full of personality and a strategic edge, this is a fantastic choice. It's a game that requires a bit of attention to the rules, and language dependency might be a factor, but the fun of seeing your heroes in action makes it all worthwhile! ## FAQ ### How many people can play Sentinel Tactics?
