Consider the Sunrise Islands with their fierce animal folk, the Wooden Conclave with magical creatures, the ever-traveling Wandering Market, the innovative Mining Company, the Floating City balancing magic and technology, or the Dragon Knights, the legendary guardians. Each adventurer possesses a Combat Value that can score points if it surpasses opponents' each round. They also generate Magic and Technology resources, unlocking potent abilities, and Gold to expand your guild, alongside Victory Points that lead to ultimate glory. The core mechanic involves building your own 3x3 grid to house these heroes. Combat is determined by your front row, making strategic positioning vital. Furthermore, lining up three adventurers from the same faction or profession triggers powerful bonus effects! It's a game of hand management, where you decide which cards to recruit and where to place them, with a dash of push-your-luck to see how far you can go. With quick 20-30 minute playtimes for 1 to 5 players, Yro is a fantastic choice for those who enjoy fantasy-themed card games with a strategic edge. Get ready to assemble your team, manage your resources, and take calculated risks at the right moment to become the greatest guild master in Yro! ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for Yro?
