Valka (2024)

About this game

Válka is a battle card game for 1-5 players featuring unique and beautifully designed cards. The deck consists of 84 cards featuring 42 fighters and 42 spell, action and buff cards to create an army of unbeatable war machines. In the multiplayer game each player is dealt a hand of 10 and attempts to build a front and backline that can stand against your competitors in fast and brutal turn based combat. In the solo game you play as a warband of fighters using resources to adventure over a map and clear it of your enemies. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 5. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. No complexity score has been recorded for this one.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
