We wanted a world you could get lost in, with characters that felt real, and strategic choices that really mattered." What's "Echoes of Aethelgard" All About? "Echoes of Aethelgard" plunges players into the fractured realm of Aethelgard, a land once unified under a wise queen, now splintered by warring factions after her mysterious disappearance. Players take on the roles of ambitious Commanders, leading their chosen faction in a bid for control of the kingdom. It's a game of cunning strategy, resource management, and, let’s be honest, a little bit of backstabbing! The starter pack is designed to be easy to learn, but with enough depth to keep even veteran card game enthusiasts hooked. It’s not about memorizing complicated rules – it’s about making smart decisions, adapting to your opponent’s moves, and building a powerful engine to dominate the board. What’s Inside the Starter Pack? So, what do you get when you crack open a copy of "Echoes of Aethelgard"? A whole lot of awesome, actually! Faction Decks (2): The starter pack includes two distinct faction decks, each with its own unique playstyle, strengths, and weaknesses. Currently, the initial release features the "Ironclad Legion" – a heavily armored, defensively focused faction emphasizing direct combat – and the "Whisperwind Covenant" – a stealthy, manipulative faction that prefers to control the battlefield from the shadows. More factions are planned for future expansions! Commander Cards (4): Each faction deck comes with two unique Commander cards, powerful heroes who lead your forces and offer special abilities. These Commanders aren’t just for show – they’re key to your strategy, and choosing the right Commander for your playstyle is crucial. Unit Cards (60+): A wide variety of unit cards representing different troop types, from hardy foot soldiers to elite cavalry and powerful siege weapons. Each unit has its own stats and abilities, allowing for diverse army compositions. Event Cards (30+): Unforeseen events that can drastically alter the course of the game. These cards introduce an element of unpredictability and force players to adapt on the fly. They can be anything from a sudden storm that hinders movement to a political intrigue that shifts alliances. Resource Tokens: Used to recruit units, activate abilities, and fuel your war machine. Managing your resources effectively is essential for success. Rulebook: A clear and concise rulebook that walks you through everything you need to know to get started.
