Crayne: Fractured Empire is an epic, strategic, high-fantasy deck-building card game for 1-6 players, set in the world of Crayne. The game has over 100 unique high-quality illustrations and 225 cards in the base set! In Crayne: Fractured Empire, the construction of a strong deck during gameplay is the main focus of the game. The cards provide a type of in game currency called revenue which allows players to purchase more/better cards to add to their decks which they can eventually use to overpower their opponents with relentless attacks. The game also utilities some same-time play rules, indirect combat and discard discount system, and has much depth and strategy. Crayne: Fractured Empire features eight unique factions that the players (called Lords) can recruit to aid them in conquering the other Lords. Each faction has its own strengths and unique talents. In addition each game is played with randomized factions, which leads to many different combinations of play-styles. Lords will have to come up with a strategy on how to win on-the-fly, whilst utilizing the factions that are available for purchase and adapting to the moves of their opponents. —description from the designer
