    Challengers! is an interactive deck-management game for 1-8 players that plays in about 45 minutes independent of player count. With the tournament gameplay style, you meet another opponent every round.

    In the Deck Phase, you choose new members and add them to your deck, which might consist of a wizard, alien, cat, gangster and kraken. 75 distinct characters with more than 40 exciting effects create a unique experience every game. Choose from six different sets and discover new strategies and synergies every game.

    In the Match Phase, stay in flag possession to win the trophy of that round. Try to get the most fans and trophies over the course of seven rounds to be able to qualify for the final. If you can best your opponent in the final, you win Challengers!

    (If you think that all sounds a lot like a board game adaption of a digital Autobattler, we are proud to tell you that this is the first of its kind!)

    Excellent battler

    The game designers did so much right with this game. It’s just a quick fun game with enough cards that each play feels different. The multi playmat dynamic with multiple players also means that the game is almost the same length no matter if it’s 2 players or 16 (with the expansion, which is also great). Highly recommend!

    Gamer version of War, but it’s much more

    As a child most people play a version of the simple card game war. Two decks face each other and all you do is flip cards to see which card beats the other. Simple and mindless.

    But, what if you draft cards with special abilities into a tiny personal deck and then use those decks to face off in a tournament of quick chaotic matches to see who comes out on top? You suddenly have an amazing game which deceptively appears to be a random luckfest but lies a deep puzzley game which plays from 1-8 people in 45 mins.

    This game is not bought for the solo version, the fun comes from playing a group of friends and accepting that even the best constructed deck can be decimated by luck as cards are played in order from your shuffled deck in a game of capture the flag.

    I cannot recommend this game enough for anyone who enjoys fun and can accept a fair bit of luck in their enjoyment of games.
