## Description
Hey everyone, check this out! The Summoner Wars: Second Edition Starter Set is your gateway to a universe of epic tactical battles, right on your tabletop. This kit comes packed with two complete factions ready to rumble: the agile Phoenix Elves and the brutal Tundra Orcs. Forget the Master Set, because these tribes are exclusive to this starter, each with its own custom deck and unique abilities for you to master. 

The goal is straightforward: take down the enemy Summoner before they do the same to yours. To achieve this, you'll use your action points to move your troops across the grid-based board, summon new units, and, of course, unleash attacks! Combat resolution blends the luck of dice rolls with the strategy of card play, and the 'Take That' mechanic ensures the fun (and tension!) never stops. 

Beyond the main factions, this set also includes a sweet bonus: promo cards for the mercenaries Khan Queso and Blacksaber, adding extra spice to your games. It's a game that requires a bit of card reading, but the learning curve is quite smooth, especially with this set that gives you everything you need to get started. If you enjoy strategic duels, fantasy settings, and good combat with twists and turns, Summoner Wars is for you!

## FAQ
### Is this game really only for two players?
Yes! Summoner Wars is specifically designed for intense one-on-one duels. It's direct combat, player versus player!

### Do I need to know English to play?
The game has a lot of text on the cards, so a good understanding of English is essential. This starter set version does not have an official Portuguese translation.

### Is it too complicated to learn?
The core gameplay is quite accessible. You manage action points, move units, and attack. The complexity comes from the faction ability interactions, but this starter set guides you well at the beginning.

### How long does a game take?
Typically, a game of Summoner Wars lasts between 40 to 60 minutes. Perfect for a game session without taking up the whole day.

### What else comes in this box besides the decks?
It includes everything you need: the two faction decks (Phoenix Elves and Tundra Orcs), a battle board, tokens, and the basic rules. Plus, there are bonus cards!

### Is this starter set different from the Master Set?
Yes! The factions in this starter set (Phoenix Elves and Tundra Orcs) are exclusive and not found in the Master Set. It's a great entry point into the Summoner Wars universe.
