About the game
What you do in a play session
In this set, the stage is the Globe Theatre, and the stars are figures from William Shakespeare's universe. You can control the Bard himself, whose award-winning deck rewards players who can assemble rhythmic sequences (the famous iambic pentameter), or the mysterious Three Witches, who require cunning coordination to manipulate potions and confuse their foes. Additionally, Hamlet and Titania join the fray, each with mechanics that force you to think fast and adapt your strategy every turn.
Combat is dynamic and fast, resolved by comparing attack and defense cards, but don't be fooled: the timing system and unique card effects create layers of depth that reward expertise. The line-of-sight system, enhanced for ranged attacks and area effects, ensures that every step on the board is critical. Whether playing in intense duels or team-based matches, the goal is the same: dominate the stage and take down your rivals with the elegance of a play and the brutality of a real fight. It's the perfect blend of strategy, hand management, and literary theme, all brought to life with stunning miniatures for an epic clash.
