Final Boss: The card game (2016)

About this game

In Final Boss, players compete against each other to be the one who defeats the Final Boss. Kill monsters to collect power-ups and destroy your competitors! Final Boss features 2 basic decks: Enemies and Drops with hilarious video game references and frenzy "take that" mechanics. Each turn, players draw drops to power up themselves, and send enemies against the other players. When in combat, players will play their drop cards to win their combat. BUT WAIT! The other players can interfere in the battle to try to force their rival's death, so be very careful on which cards you play or you'll end up dead. Oh, and do not forget: a Final Boss can appear and turn the tides of a game at any moment!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
