The game will contain more than 240 unique cards at release, as well as miniatures. Buy for your deck the best Weapons, Armor, Spells, Armies, Henchmen, and Mercenary cards. Conquer enemies by playing these cards on the gameplay table in a sequence of turns with other players. As Players defeat Units and Heroes of opposing Legions, they gain Prestige by taking the appropriate Prestige Point cards and placing them in their Loot Pile. These points are tallied the end of the game to determine the winner. Player’s may examine the Loot Pile of each other at any time. The fantasy world of Graxia is filled with mysteries designed for players to discover and solve. Why are there huge continents floating in the sky? Why is there such a wide variety of races living on each of these continents when travel between these lands is only accomplished through the use of Guardian created magical portals? Only selecting your favorite Guardian, exploring the world, and commanding your armies in battle, provides the answers to some of the Graxian mysteries. Heroes of Graxia is not a CCG.
