Anachronism

Primarily a two-player arena combat game in which historical warriors face each other in one-on-one battles. Players build five-card decks featuring notable figures, weapons, armor, and abilities from different eras, then use them to fight on the battlefield. The non-random card system supports deck customization, with additional cards introducing heroes from Greek, Japanese, Norse, Roman, Mongol, and other historical traditions. Multiplayer variants are also available.

    Maybe it's just me, but the customizing, the tactics, the pretty paper, all is just trappings on a huge dose of luck.

    He tenido la desgracia de jugar dos partidas. Jugué la segunda porque no podía ser que el juego fuera tan malo. ¡Era peor! No merece ni mi comentario.
