  • Fast, cinematic combat. Every face-off plays like a movie scene.

  • Simple rules, deep play. A 21-Combat system, Trades, and Evos that evolve with your story.

  • Cards, dice, and imagination. No filler stats, no bloat, just your crew, a couple of dice, and a deck. Or two.

  • Perfect for homebrewers and storytellers. Build new worlds, remix old ones, or spin up a one-shot tonight.

  • It’s the most fun I’ve had running a game in years.
