San Ramon, Calif. – January 11, 2017 – Games Lab is happy to announce their aptly-titled tactical card game Final War will see its North American launch at PAX South 2017! Final War is a turn-based card game for 2 to 4 players, set in the magical world of Gloren. An uneasy truce has ended on Gloren, descending it into chaos as Warlords from different races vie for an orb of immense power, the Gem of Making.

From Lead Game Designer Ben Ellis:

“I always had a desire to produce a fantasy TCG that would use a dice moderation and communal deck moderation, being very different mechanisms to games that only make use of individual player decks.”

 

“The lore behind the game sprang entirely from my tabletop campaign, with Gloren and its intricacies, including the Elder Days universe, developing over a 25-year period. Suffice to say that there is a wealth of lore yet to be revealed!”

The first edition of the game boasts over 400 separate cards, as well as three variations of play. Play continues in each game until the Final War card is drawn, which pits the players into a duel-to-the-death struggle.

Each day the developer will also be awarding exclusive Legendary cards to people who put their name into the Barrel of Berserking. Put your name in to get a chance to win booster packs and all 3 exclusive cards. They’ll be doing frequent giveaways during the convention, so go see them!
