About the game
In a not-so-distant future, Earth needed a restart. Nature was crying for help, and an ambitious project, Zenkai, brought synthetic beings powered by pure energy to life. Their mission? To renew the planet! And guess what, it worked! Today, with lush flora and clean air, these beings, affectionately called Zenkais, have become our pets and participate in super exciting battles to release all that energy. Oh, and we discovered they can even "evolve" after winning a fight, gaining new forms, but without changing who they are inside.

Now, imagine this: you're a rookie trainer in the Zenkai League, a competition that happens for people to release their monsters' energy in a safe and fun way. The game is about exploring incredible cities in varied habitats, capturing new Zenkais for your team, battling other trainers, and, of course, making a bunch of friends along the way. It's an epic journey to become the champion of this league! With mechanics that mix dice rolling and multi-use cards, Zenkai: Adventure promises a dynamic experience full of surprises, ideal for those who enjoy collecting and battling fantastic creatures in a vibrant world that strongly resembles a video game.
