The Age of Rift

The Age of Rift is a fast-paced, colorful tactical skirmish game set in a world shattered by a mystical energy called the Shard. Each player controls a team of three unique Heroes—a Tank, a Fighter, and a Utility Hero—each with distinct abilities and playstyles. Alongside miniatures, players use a 15-card deck that combines Hero-specific skills with equipment, potions, and other effects, creating synergies and demanding tactical decisions throughout the game. Each round, players alternate activating their Heroes, who can perform two different actions, such as moving, making a ranged attack, or channeling energy. Close combat is resolved simultaneously, with dice rolls compared to determine who deals more damage. Positioning is key: winning a fight can allow you to push, charge, or reposition your opponent, potentially causing them to collide with terrain, suffer fall damage, or even be pushed off the board. Winning isn’t just about eliminating the opposing team. Each game is a mission with specific objectives, such as controlling areas, managing objectives, or using Familiars to score points. Players must balance combat, positioning, card management, and mission objectives, adapting their strategy as the game progresses. The player who completes the mission objectives and scores the most points wins.
