About the game

Somewhere along the line, you made a dangerous enemy. The Exarchy themselves have sworn vengeance upon you. Now their chosen champion stalks you at every step. Prepare yourself for the fight of your life as you face the mighty Imperator. Imperator solo expansion enables gameplay for one player to play as any hero against any other hero using these 6 solo Command cards and that hero’s AI rules insert. What is the mark of a true champion? Legendary heroes clash across the Neververse to find out. Battlecrest is a card-based tactical skirmish game for 2 players (1-4 with expansions). With perfect information, players must truly outwit their opponent to win. Characters are composed of 6-card sets featuring a hero card, a health tracker, and action cards. Occasionally a minion or item will replace an action card. The map is built of 6 cards as well, with the cards randomly placed in a set pattern. Players take turns maneuvering their characters around the dynamic, and often dangerous map while unleashing powerful attacks. As action cards are used they open up new possibilities and empower the character’s battlecrests. Build up to decisive strikes or refocus to get powers back. Every character has a unique set of actions and preferred tactics, so no two battles play the same. —description from the publisher
