Then, you activate the current Champions’ Battle abilities, and then the previous Champions’ Legacy abilities, and then resolve combat by adding terrain bonuses. Players reveal their Champions simultaneously. In each round, you choose a Champion to play on the current Location. (In case of a tie, roll off for the Fatestone.) Each location is worth some number of Victory Points, and also has a location effect. Whichever player has the highest power level takes the Fatestone, which starts at 1. The ten Locations are shuffled, and three are set out on the table with the deck to the side.Īssign the Fatestone: each player will choose a Champion to be their first Legacy Champion–these are revealed simultaneously and set aside in the Legacy pile. You gain points by winning battles to take Location cards.Įach player gets a set of ten Champion cards and two score tracker cards. The basic idea is that each Champion has two powers: a Battle ability that triggers when it is used in battle, and then a Legacy ability that affects the next battle. (The length of the game can easily be adjusted by agreeing on more or fewer rounds.) The Battle ability affects the current battle the Legacy ability affects the next battle. The object of the game is to score the most points in three rounds of play. Skip to the bottom if you just want to learn about the new tokens and combining the two sets. Note: since the rules for this version and the original are largely the same aside from the specific powers, much of this section will repeat my original review.

You can get a PDF of the rules here, or even try the full Print-and-Play edition before you decide whether to back the game. A game of Strife: Shadows & Steam in action. It’s such a simple but clever solution–just be sure you don’t bump the cards too much while you’re playing. The original game was the first time I’d seen a score tracker like this, and since then I’ve seen it in a few other games, but not many. You just slide one card over the other to keep your score from 0 to 79. The score cards are a pair of cards: one has 0 to 9 printed vertically on the card, and the other has +0, +10, +20, and so on printed on the edges (on front and back, so it goes up to +70). The Location cards each have a name and an effect, usually awarding a bonus to a particular class of champion. LiuĮach of the Champion cards has a name, a number (from 0 to 9) and two abilities: the Battle ability and the Legacy ability. Each player gets the same 10 Champion cards. In my opinion, it would be worth it to shrink the art if it meant not having to squint at the text. While I do really like the artwork in the game, I do feel that the text on the cards is smaller than it needs to be on such a large card. Because of the success of the previous campaign, this one starts off with the upgraded card stock and a metal tin box that were stretch goals the first time around.Īs with the first game, the cards are all Tarot-sized cards, with a large portion of the card taken up by the artwork by Claudio Pilia. The number and type of tokens may change, but my prototype version came with:Īlso, there are stretch goals in place to add 9 Event cards and 9 Artifact cards to the deck (similar to the first game).

The original game was set in a fantasy world this time it’s steampunk.Īt a glance: Strife is a game by Christopher Hamm for 2 players, ages 14 and up, and takes about an hour to play (though there are variants for shorter or longer games).
