Challengers! is now in alpha!

Post by GTSchemer »

Challengers!, recently nominated for the 2023 Kennerspiel des Jahres award, is now in Alpha!

It is an interactive deck-management game for 1-8 players that plays quickly regardless of player count. With a tournament gameplay style, players meet a new opponent every round. Each round has a Deck Phase and Match Phase.

In the Deck Phase, you choose new cards 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!)

My dear mom and I ordered Challengers a short time ago. However, it was out of print and should be available again in July. Great it's coming to BGA soon. Does anyone know if there will be an expansion with new card sets and if so, will they be available? Thanks in advance.
