Summary: “Choose your faction and fight your opponent. Use your powers, abilities, and sheer strength to answer the ultimate question: who will be the last one standing when warriors Clash at Rook’s Point? Players will choose a faction of three characters, all with their own unique powers and abilities. Decks are identical, each containing the same cards, the only difference is how they are shuffled. Heal your characters, take two actions, and move to the next player. Gameplay is fast and furious, with no forgiveness for mistakes. Knock out all of an opponent’s characters to eliminate them from the game. Be the last player standing to win control of Rook’s Point—but beware! Strategies and alliances might work this time, but how long will they last?”
