About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready to return to the war on Ganymede with The War Chronicles of Ganymede Zero 2! This two-player card game throws you into the year 209X, where Nigaleos, under contract for the Veil Army, is developing cutting-edge Mechs. One is pure brute force in attack, the other, a defensive powerhouse. The plan was to end the war quickly with these incredible machines, but, you know, management always has other ideas...

Ganymede Senki Zero 2 is a standalone expansion, meaning you can dive into this story without needing the base game. However, if you're already a fan of the first game, you can mix them together and bring up to 4 pilots into the arena! Games are quick, lasting between 20 and 25 minutes, perfect for those who want action without the long haul. The game uses transparent cards to upgrade your Mechs, adding an extra layer of strategy and visual flair. The campaign mechanic immerses you in a story that unfolds with each match, while dice rolling and open drafting ensure every duel is unpredictable and full of tactical decisions. It's a game that shines in its science fiction and combat themes, ideal for those who enjoy card games with a strategic edge and a fast pace. Language dependency is moderate, so some translated cards or a handy reference sheet will help you master the battlefield.
