How about some more heroes? With more heroes you can get a lot of variety out of your games. You can also play them in solo (either as or against them) and even play 3-4P team games.

Includes:

Griyan Hero set and AI sheet (for solo play).
Mub Zane Hero set and AI sheet (for solo play).
Imperator II solo expansion.

What is the mark of a true champion? Legendary heroes clash across the Neververse to find out.

Battlecrest is a card-based tactical skirmish game for 2 players (1-4 with expansions). With perfect information, players must truly outwit their opponent to win.

Characters are composed of 6-card sets featuring a hero card, a health tracker, and action cards. Occasionally a minion or item will replace an action card.

The map is built of 6 cards as well, with the cards randomly placed in a set pattern.

Players take turns maneuvering their characters around the dynamic, and often dangerous map while unleashing powerful attacks. As action cards are used they open up new possibilities and empower the character’s battlecrests. Build up to decisive strikes or refocus to get powers back. Every character has a unique set of actions and preferred tactics, so no two battles play the same.

You weren't supposed to see them, the weathered cards with starnge inkblots. You didn't know the ink would curl and writhe as you looked at them. You tell yourself it's a nightmare, but the Shades you see are real... and they can see you too.

An interesting premise as a solo RPG told with only a few cards. When playing, you’ll get the chance to define the particular Shade you are encountering. This happens by a unique pair of prompts as well as an image, and it is up to you how to interpret these, as well as how to play out the encounter. Let your imagination run wild, telling of adventures that bring the storylines to life. Or just think of things in a practical way, coming up with a solution that is grounded in sensibility. The choice is yours, and only you can determine the right or wrong way to go about this unique encounter.

Shades of Ink is a solo role playing game where you will look at inkblots, note what you see, and then fight to destroy the shades that manifest from your visions. As you accumulate knowledge, the spirits' power also accumulates until it coalesces to form one final encounter.

Will you be able to overcome the Shades to escape the nightmare?
