About the game
A.I.Pokalypse is the Expert Autobattler card game set in a Cyberpunk Apokalypse! A.I.Pokalypse consists 200+ playing cards and offers to 1-8 players the amount of decision making and strategic depth of a full length expert game, compressed into a 45min. experience, independent of player count! You recruit and improve a team of mercenaries, that will fight against all their opponents at the same time. Over 140 individual cards offer an almost unlimited amount of combo-creation! A large variety of unique special units and asymmetric factions will keep this game fresh for a long time! In the recruit phase, you can play units, such as humans, mechs, mutants or rogues from your hands into your fighting slots and use other units, to improve them permanently. You can also triple them, to get unique and powerful special units! In the battle phase, your units automatically fight against your opponent's units. Losing a fight means to have a larger selection of special units in your pool. But beware, if you lose too much health, you might be dead before you unleashed your biggest combos! The player with the most points wins the fight. Will you be able to win the fight and be the only survivor to come out alive of the battlezone? —description from the designer
