Do battle across the shattered Nexus as one of 8 different Warbands. The mad King Archial has shattered the Nexus. A place of magic that exists outside of time and space. He hopes to draw on the universe's life energy, called Source, to reverse the events of the past that led to the destruction of his kingdom. EXOH is a card based tile laying game that mixes combo based card battle mechanics with abstract tile laying. Players deal damage to their opponents by creating Battle Lines on the game’s 4x3 grid called the Nexus. These Battle Lines are formed by summoning Heroes unique to each player’s premade Warband deck of 16 cards. Each Hero in a player’s deck is unique and has abilities that activate when they are summoned or at the start of each turn they are on the Nexus. Knowing when and where to summon your Heroes is crucial to getting the most out of each card in your deck. Players must balance making and blocking Battle Lines with using their Heroes to collect Source, the resource needed to cast spells and summon additional Heroes. Running low on source could mean you end if you don’t have the resources to block your opponent. EXOH is a head to head game for 2 players or 4 in teams of 2 on an expanded Nexus Board The first player to KO their enemies leader wins the game! —description from the publisher
