I'm excited to share with you Heroes of Graxia, a deck-building card game based on the Graxia universe and our upcoming Guardians of Graxia board game. Pre-orders for all of our board and card games are now available at our new game websites and stores: http://www.petroglyphgames.com/boardgames Check out Heroes of Graxia at: http://www.heroesofgraxia.com [image]http://images.boardgamegeek.com/images/pic739388_md.jpg[/image] More about Heroes of Graxia: Heroes of Graxia is a deck building game for 2-6 players that features dynamic gameplay using cards in a fantasy strategy-based environment. The game uses cards to represent forces on the gameplay table. Starting with a small deck of 12 cards, players build their empire by buying the best cards to prepare them to out-smart and out-maneuver other players to obtain trophies and prestige in the World of Graxia. The game will contain more than 240 unique cards at release, as well as miniatures. Buy for your deck the best Weapons, Armor, Spells, Armies, Henchmen, and Mercenary cards. Conqueor enemies by playing these cards on the gameplay table in a sequence of turns with other players. The fantasy world of Graxia is filled with mysteries designed for players to discover and solve. Why are there huge continents floating in the sky? Why is there such a wide variety of races living on each of these continents when travel between these lands is only accomplished through the use of Guardian created magical portals? Only selecting your favorite Guardian, exploring the world, and commanding your armies in battle, provides the answers to some of the Graxian mysteries. Heroes of Graxia is not a CCG. It is a deck building card game based on the Graxia universe and Guardians of Graxia board game published by Petroglyph.

These points are tallied the end of the game to determine the winner. Player’s may examine the Loot Pile of each other at any time.

There will be a Guardians of Graxia PC version, but no Heroes of Graxia PC version at release. Mathew "Berek" Anderson Petroglyph Community Manager http://www.petroglyphgames.com

The PC version had to be tweaked from the board game components to work as a PC version. Though the core gameplay is still the same, more has been updated to make it different enough to enjoy, but it's not the same game. Speaking of the PC version, we're recording some gameplay footage for everyone as I type this! Mathew "Berek" Anderson Petroglyph Community Manager http://www.petroglyphgames.com

I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations - James Madison

Just say hi and tell them I'm ready to share any news and previews you write after discussing with them the games, and of course any interviews! This is a wonderful opportunity to get the skinny on our board game development. Mathew "Berek" Anderson Petroglyph Community Manager http://www.petroglyphgames.com
