Rivals

A sci‑fi battle royale where each player controls a clan’s champion and fights to be the last survivor or to reach five victory points. Players move across a modular map of tiles that shrinks over time, collect resources, and build a custom deck of offensive, defensive and utility cards. Each turn grants action points used to move, gather tiles’ harvests, play cards and interact with sponsors. Combat uses card costs and ranges for attacks while defenders roll a pool of defense dice that can be increased by resources and terrain. Resources also craft shields, remove cards from the deck, buy victory points or add defensive dice as the map evolves and tiles are destroyed.
