The cult series of video games has finally got its card edition! Thanks to Portal Games, the board game God of War was released on the Polish market on June 24 . Return to Kratos and save the world by incarnating in him and his companions.
If you’ve missed the world of the Nordics and the traversing Kratos around it, good news for you: now you can return to the familiar universe with God of War , a cooperative card game by two seasoned creators: Fel Barros and Alex Olteanu. Cards are a guarantee of fun for four players at the same time, although single users can also try their hand at a new adventure. Regardless of how many of you decide to play, you will not be able to complain about boredom.
The gods’ predicted twilight is near and the world is on the verge of collapse. Death awaits everyone on earth. Only a few heroes, noticed by the goddesses of fate, can prevent it.
These heroes are you, the players. You can choose from six available characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses: Kratos is a traditional RPG “tank” and Freya is a typical example of a “healer”. What are the traits of the other heroes, it’s your job to find out.
The gameplay itself is a compilation of several scenarios in one game based on the pool building mechanics . Regardless of your chosen path, sooner or later your paths will cross with one of the few Bosses. In the fight against them, you will have to forget about bravado and focus on cooperation, because only this will lead to victory.
