About the game
Trials of Maya is an expandable card‑driven arena combat game where you command champions across an arena using customizable decks. Each Champion has their own personality and several potential playstyles, breaking the game in exciting and unique ways. Playing around your enemies’ strengths is as vital as exploiting your own. Pick from several game modes, each with its own arena and rules. Each game mode requires varying game plans, and rewards different kinds of tactical skill. Each Champion comes with a starter deck, but you may also freely construct your deck instead before each game begins! Customize your deck based on the playstyle you feel comfortable with. Pilot your hero, manage your energy well, chain together mind-boggling combos, and strike at the most opportune of moments to win! About MAYA: MAYA is an epic high-fantasy universe unfolding over films, games, graphic novels, books, toys, immersive and physical experiences. MAYA chronicles the paradoxes of a civilization where technological marvels coexist with primitive suffering - across the chasm of haves and have-nots. MAYA is a new mythology for the new age. Enter MAYA with Trials of MAYA. —description from the publisher
