About the game
Inspired by the Emmy-award winning animated series, The Dragon Prince: Battlecharged is a card-based tactical miniatures game. Two teams, each consisting of 2-3 heroes, face off in fast-paced duels on one of six battlemaps. Battlecharged uses a unique energy charging system in which every character has a different fighting style: a melee skirmisher like Rayla recharges when she darts in and out of combat, while a defender like Soren charges when you attack him or his adjacent ally. The base game includes eight characters: Rayla, Ezran, Callum, Amaya, Janai, Viren, Claudia, and Soren. Each is represented with a high-quality miniature, a hero card, and a 16-card deck.
