We engage in a 1v1 card duel to the death! This TCG by Archon Studios has players using their asymmetric decks (Castle vs Necropolis) to drop the enemy hero to 0 HP. Players will manage their hands of cards but also manage units on a grid battlefield, vying for control of locations that can give special abilities. There's powerful spells/artifacts and fun unit nuance including stacking! With Ashton controlling Adela the Cleric and Alex controlling Isra the Death Knight, who will win with these sample packs?
