Prisma Arena (2020)

About this game

"Welcome young recruits. Hope still slumbers and must be protected from Despair's draining embrace. You are here because your Prisma is strong and, more importantly, you give a damn. Now suit up. It's time to train!" Prisma Arena is a fast-paced game of over-the-top arena combat for 2-4 players. Play as novices recruited for your ability to channel Prisma — your inner light — as you learn the martial art of Prismakata. You are joined in the arena by Mo'kon, creatures that embody individual emotions. Learn to blast, strike and perform powerful combos. With quick-start rules, you can play standalone or train to become a Guardian of Hope over multiple games. Whatever you choose, train hard and fight well!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
