It's a 2D fighting game done as a card game. You choose your fighter (out of 18, plus promos and another 30 or so in their current Kickstarter project), which gives you a unique set of styles (Flaming, Armored, etc.) plus a common set of bases (Strike, Throw, etc.). Each turn you combine one of each to choose your move, which sets the range, damage and priority (initiative) of your attack. The game is for 2-4 players, either 1 on 1 matches, tag teams or boss fights. The standalone expansion adds a solo mode and 4 on 1 boss fights.ALIEN FRONTIERS -- A game about colonizing a new planet. You get d6 spaceships, which you roll and allocate to different facilities. Each one takes different rolls to use (buying a new ship needs doubles, plus resources, stealing resources from others needs a run of 3 dice, ...) The game goes until someone lands the required number of colonies on the planet. Each colony is placed in a territory which gives a bonus if you have the most colonies there. It's a fun game for 2-4 players, but my group hasn't played it much recently.SUNRISE CITY -- Sim City the board game. The board is made of zoning tiles that affect what types of buildings can be built on them. Each turn players take turn adding more zoning tiles, bidding on the tiles they want to place buildings on, then placing buildings. I enjoyed it, but the auction mechanics fell flat for the rest of my group.EMINENT DOMAIN -- A 4X deck building game. Each turn you can play one card from your hand, then draw a card from the stacks of new cards to use a different action, which you can boost with cards from your hand. This lets you scan new planets to settle, research new technologies, attack or settle planets or produce or sell resources. Each other player can then either take the same action or draw a card from their deck into their hand. I've only played a couple games of this so far, but my group likes 4X games and deck builders, so I think it will be played a lot more.</blockquote>
