From the rulebook: Tired of going it solo in a duel? Is one lone fighter just not enough? Strikers are the answer! Strikers allow you to call in your favorite characters during a duel and utilize their attack or support abilities. They shine the most in Tag-Team games, where you can constantly swap in and out your characters to take advantage of a whole gamut of new coordinated combos. Strikers is an expansion to both BattleCON: War of Indines and BattleCON: Devastation of Indines. One of these two games are required to play with this expansion.
BattleCON: Strikers supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for BattleCON: Strikers is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists BattleCON: Strikers for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
BattleCON: Strikers has a complexity rating of 2.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
