Andoria Battlefields funded and available on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1233488834/andoria-battlefields-0] Andoria Battlefields is a fast paced, fantasy, area control, board game with card playing and dice rolling mechanisms. In Andoria Battlefields, players take control of both Heroes and Monsters and fight for control over their own, and their opponent’s, battlefields. A game lasts 20 to 60 minutes depending on the number of players. Every player turn is divided into two main phases: 1. Herophase 2. Monsterphase The active player plays both phases and then the player to their left becomes the active player. 1. The Herophase: The player recruits his Heroes and uses spells to conquer his battlefield, defeat the monsters controlled by the opposing player and seal the portals where they emerge. 2. The Monsterphase: The opposing player recruits and controls monsters on the active player’s battlefield. The opposing player tries to stop the active player by overrunning Andoria with these evil creatures. This abstract strategy allows the player to win the game in two different ways; either by defeating the forces of darkness and sealing the portals, or by overrunning his opponent’s battlefield with monsters. Achieving victory by controlling the battlefields will require both strategic and tactical skill. Players will need to recruit powerful units, such as warriors or dragons, and use their unique abilities. They can be strengthened by casting helpful spells and building protective barriers. Will your heroes have the strength to unite the kingdoms and close the portals? Or will you aid the monsters in their quest to plunge Andoria into darkness and silence its music forever?
