Epic Trading Card Game (2009)

About this game

Epic is a trading card game that doesn't use resource cards. Instead, every player has one action per turn (including your opponent's turn). The most powerful cards cost your action and other cards are free. The biggest decision point each turn is usually which card in your hand to use your action on and how and when to use that card. Each player starts with a score of 30 Mojo. Player's use champion, object, and event cards to try and reduce their opponent(s)'s Mojo to zero. The game comes in 15 card packs. Each pack is specially sorted and balanced so that you can shuffle any 2 packs together and have a playable 30 card deck.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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.
