Board Game - BUBBLE. Crossover

Have you ever looked at comics and sighed because you couldn’t fully enjoy their colorful prints, the rustling of thick paper, and the coolness of your favorite characters? If so – congratulations, your suffering will come to an end! With the card game "BUBBLE: Crossover," you will have an additional opportunity to touch the beautiful – that is, to the actually existing projects of the BUBBLE publishing house, or rather – to their covers!

Prove that you are a true fan and collect a collection of comics (or better yet, two or even three!) faster than your opponents. It’s no big deal if you have to snatch a card from a neighbor – in such an important matter as collecting, there is no concept of "honor" or "conscience." There is only a goal – which means you can turn a blind eye to obstacles...

About the Game

"BUBBLE: Crossover" is a game created in collaboration with the famous comic book publisher BUBBLE, which has gifted the world things like "Major Grom" and "Besoboy." As cards, there will be miniatures of real comic book covers. You will become collectors who somehow met and, getting caught up in conversation, realized that they share a common hobby – collecting comic book covers. However, each of you didn’t pay much attention to the order and just tossed them into their own box. It’s time for you to sort through your treasures and arrange their contents in the necessary order, as befits a worthy collector. And at the same time, deprive a couple of covers from your neighbor, because you clearly need them more than he does. Just don’t relax: he has eyes as cunning as yours, and he has already figured out what comic he lacks to fill his bookshelf. And by happy coincidence, that comic is precisely with you...

How to Play?

On your table, there will be several decks of cards: one - the so-called personal box of the player, for each its own (what he already possesses at the start of the game but hasn’t sorted yet), and the second - the common deck. Leave space between you in the center: there you will collect rows of collections, no more than three at a time. Each card has a certain denomination, which relates it to the series of comics (for example, 8 is "Plague Doctor", and 4 is "Exlibrium"); for a collection to be considered complete, you must lay out the cover cards in strict ascending or descending order of their denomination, that is, from 1 to 8 or vice versa. However, do not forget about the existence of crossovers – these are special covers related to several comic series at the same time and therefore do not have a numerical designation: their denomination will be whatever you assign to them. Once the collection is assembled, it is sent to the discard pile, and you are one step closer to having cleanliness and order in your stocks, and thus, to victory.

Thanks to elements of strategy, you can think ahead about your moves and use combinations that will allow you to update your cards using the common deck or "swap comics" with an opponent. If you develop the right tactic, you will have the chance to break ahead literally in one round and become the undisputed winner! However, if you want to play with younger children or start with something simple, the possibility of combining can be safely removed from the game and implemented next time.

There is also a solo mode in the game. You will try to collect as many collections as possible by the time all the comics are gone from the box. It seems easy? Only here’s the catch: you will have to discard and update all the cards from your hand every turn! So don’t worry, you’ll still have to put in effort.

Who Won?

The winner of the game is the one who sorts out their box first, meaning lays down their last card on the field of collections.
