About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to speed up with Sonic Speed Battle, a card game that brings the world's fastest hedgehog and his friends to your table! This 2024 title, for 2 to 4 players and 30 to 60-minute matches, isn't just one game, but THREE distinct experiences, all using the same deck of 24 iconic characters from the Sonic universe. It's like a 3-in-1 that guarantees plenty of replayability and variety!

In Sonic Speed Battle, you and your friends can dive into different game modes. How about a frantic race to see who gets there first? Or perhaps you prefer a more direct mode, where the goal is to 'blast' opponents who dare to stand in your way? And for collectible fans, there's a mode focused on searching for the lost Master Emerald shards. Each mode offers a unique dynamic, but all share the excitement and speed characteristic of Sonic.

With hand management, race, set collection, and 'take that' mechanics, the game is a fun mix of strategy and direct interaction. Language dependency is practically null, meaning anyone can jump into the fun without barriers. If you're a fan of Sonic, card games with lots of interaction, or looking for something light and fast to play with friends, Sonic Speed Battle promises plenty of adrenaline and laughs. Choose your favorite character and get ready to 'go fast'!
