About the game
Iconoclash puts you center stage in the ultimate tabletop platform fighting action. You’ll join the fray as one of 11 characters, leverage clever card play to collect items, rushdown rivals, create powerful combos that launch them into the air and off the stage to outplay the competition. 'Iconoclash' captures the fast paced action and tactics of a platform fighter. Choose your favorite character from a variety of board game universes. Each character has a unique deck and playstyle. Then select which map to fight on. Each turn you’ll play two attacks, each with three different effects to choose from. Meaning that every character has over 500 unique attack combinations. Some attack options require you to spend a Power Token, giving them an added kick to deal massive damage. Attacks also send your opponents flying, potentially launching them off the edge of the board to deal extra damage. All the while, you will move across the stage to keep your opponent in range, dodge stage hazards, collect items, and avoid attacks. Reduce your opponent's HP to 0 to win. Featuring three Multiplayer Modes for up to 4 players: Classic Mode: Last one-standing wins. This mode is for players who love the classic no-holds-barred, last-one-standing action. Battle Royale: The player to deal the most damage after 4 rounds wins. This mode is great for players who prefer game play that is about maximizing combos and want to avoid player elimination. 2 v 2: Team up with a partner for the win! This mode is perfect for 4-player action. —description from the publisher
