Berserk: Tactical Card Game – War of Realms (2011)

About this game

In the distant world of Laar, wandering armies led by powerful magicians live a life of battle. For eons they fought for survival in this world, once scorched by fires of the Cataclysm. Now you have the chance to gather your own army and become the maker of your own fate. Perhaps your path will shape the fate of Laar as well... In fierce battles in Berserk: Tactical Card Game - War of Realms, your life and the lives of your trusted armies will depend on your skill as a strategist and a warlord. And then, when in the heat of battle you forget about your wounds, forget about the future and about the past, you will understand why this is not simply a game. It is Berserk. Berserk: Tactical Card Game was previously published in Russian as a collectible card game sold in randomized packs. This English edition of the game uses a fixed card format in which the same cards will be available in each standalone game and expansion pack. Two different ready-to-play decks are included in War of Realms, the first release in this new format. Reimplements: Berserk: Trading Card Game

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
