Barcode Battler

Players scan barcodes from everyday products to generate warriors, wizards and equipment that appear on an electronic device. The device tracks stats and resolves combat as heroes and enemies fight; cards provide preset characters and gear while blank cards let players assign new barcodes to custom creations. Gameplay revolves on scanning, deploying characters and managing battles through the handheld unit’s rules and displays.
