Board game Shadow Fight. Battle of Demons

After defeating the Titan, conqueror of worlds and formidable tyrant of the Shadow Fight universe, the gates of the Shadows were briefly closed. But now, when the throne of the ruler was free, 12 minions of Titan - demons from different worlds - unleashed a fierce battle for the right to name themselves the new ruler of the universe.

About the game

"Battle of Demons" is a dynamic card board game based on the popular mobile game Shadow Fight. Taking on the role of one of the characters (perhaps even one you already know), you will have to defeat all your rivals. To achieve this goal, you have a whole arsenal of techniques, various combos, traps and the unique ability of your own demon. Win a series of victories to become the rightful heir to the formidable Titan.

How to play?

First, prepare for the game: randomly determine the first player - he receives the corresponding card, and the drawing of trick cards will begin with him. Deal 2 Demon cards to each player: choose one and place it face up in front of you. In the center of the table, place 7 tactics cards according to the rules of the game, and next to them place stacks of “Knockout” cards, battlefield cards and trick cards. You are ready to begin the battle.

The game consists of a series of battles in which each player takes part. Give everyone 7 move cards. One battle can last several rounds. The round, in turn, consists of three turns, and each turn is divided into 4 phases:

1. Selecting a card
2. Performing an action
3. Checking the end of the battle
4. Checking the end of the round

In the first phase, all players simultaneously select one of the cards from their hand and place it face down in front of them. After this, the second phase begins - performing an action: starting with the first player, everyone takes turns opening their cards and performing one of the two actions available on the card. After the draw, the card remains in front of you, and every next move you will add new ones to the right of it - this chain of cards is called a “series of tricks”. Important: each move card is numbered from 1 to 5, and each subsequent card in the “move series” must have a number greater than the previous one. Next comes the phase of checking the end of the battle: if there is only one demon left in the battle, the battle ends and the next one begins, otherwise the battle continues. Then the end of the round is checked: if all players have completed 3 moves, their cards laid out in a series of moves are discarded and a new round begins. A demon can leave the battle for several reasons:

• If you lose all your energy
• If the effect of the "Knockout" card was applied to him
• If the number of the opened trick card is less than the previous one in the “series of tricks”
• If on his turn he cannot play a reception card

Who has won?

Each battle lasts until there is only one undefeated demon left - he receives a victory point. The game continues until one of the demons scores 3 victory points.
