About the game
This blister contains two new General-type decks, both with numbered tactics from #009 to #018, in the indicated language. Starting with Season 3 of the AGL, players will be able to form their Tactics Decks in each round of a tournament by replacing the core box General Tactics with TComm Deck Tactics or Sterling Forge Deck Tactics. TComm offers tools for managing the Tactics Deck, the player's own hand, and even the possibility to affect the hand of their opponent. Sterling Forge gives the player the ability to improve the stats of their rolls —description of the publisher (translated) Este blíster contiene dos nuevos mazos de tipo General, ambos con Tácticas numeradas del #009 al #018, en el idioma indicado.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Aristeia!: Advanced Tactics Decks for ages 14 and up.
