SkyLords is a game of mid-air jousting where warriors leap from towers and clash in flight. The combat tests skills of both agility and brute strength. A powerful, heavy fighter may offer up a formidable defense, but a lighter opponent can attack from above. It is crucial to find a balance between power and weight that will beat the strategy of your opponent. Games of SkyLords are for 2 players, ages 12 and over. Players draw from the same deck, which must contain at least 26 cards. Before beginning, players set the number of starting Game Points, which corresponds to the amount of Life each player starts with. At the end of each turn, players deduct Game Points corresponding to the amount of damage received. The first player to reach zero loses.
