Warage Card Game is a board game released in 2013 for 2–4 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Luca Grasso and Pietro Puglisi and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Dice Rolling, and Team-Based Game.
Warage Background You are a solitary hero fighting to survive in a world once afflicted by ancient wars between Orcs, Elves, Humans and Angels. It does not matter if you are a Mage, a Paladin or a Warrior: all you have to do is to get the most powerful equipment you can find, such as handcrafted swords and shield, magic scrolls or what remains of the fire guns and hi-tech weapons produced by a now-gone civilization. Defend yourself and defeat your opponents. Are you ready to fight? What is Warage? Warage is the ultimate turn-based strategic card game: role play, strategy and deck building merged all together for endless adventures. The key mechanic of the game is that each Hero starts with 100 Hit Points (HP) and in order to play any card you have to pay its cost in HP. During your round you can equip your Hero with the items you have in our hand and you can attack your opponent(s) either through Physical Attack or Magic Attack. Create your Hero choosing one of the Class cards and one of the Race cards available and construct your deck (48+ cards) selecting any of the existing cards. Deckbuilding and "RPG attitude" together, welcome to Warage!
Warage Card Game supports 2–4 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 Warage Card Game is 15 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 Warage Card Game for ages 10 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.
Warage Card Game has a complexity rating of 2.2 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
