About the game
Testament is a cooperative monster battle card game from Manifest Destiny and LionWing Publishing modeled after the typical "MMORPG trinity" of tank, healer, and damage dealer. The players control four characters and choose which skills each character should have. Each turn, new mob cards are drawn, and the players must defeat these by effective use of their various skills, all the while managing mana, aggro, and various threats. The game consists of six stages, each stage ending with a boss fight, which follow specific rules. Each stage has a playtime of about an hour. The game can start at any stage or be played as a campaign, with characters leveling up after each stage. The difficulty setting is hard, with the designer claiming that few stand a real chance on their first playthrough.

Questions and answers
Testament supports 1–4 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 Testament is 60 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 Testament for ages 14 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.
Testament has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
