Apocalypse Universe: Galactic Arena

Set 150 years after the first Galactic Arena match, this science-fiction combat game takes place on CETUS-7, a space platform rebuilt around an ancient mystical arena. Heroes from across the galaxy battle for survival as the Apocalypse approaches. Players draft heroes, equip weapons and special abilities, and deploy them on a hex-based arena containing starting positions, hidden traps, and treasure crates. Each hero uses action points to move, attack, defend, or activate abilities. Attacks and defenses are resolved with a ten-sided die modified by the hero’s statistics; wounds reduce health until a hero is defeated. The game supports 1–6 players in 1-vs-1, 2-vs-2, and 3-vs-3 battles, with varied hero abilities allowing different builds and strategies.
