From the mists of war, a pair of great nations rise together like a two-headed giant. They march across the land crushing their foes. As one, they combine their strengths, thwart their enemies, and achieve a triumphant destiny.
Ettin is a 2-8 player card-drafting game in which teams of two compete against each other in fierce skirmishes and fast global conflicts. Your alliance shares strategies, defenses, and resources as you face off against neighboring enemies. You can even expand to 16+ players with multiple copies of the game!
Each of the eight unique nations has a different focus and playing style, designed to be a formidable opponent or a reliable friend. Pairs of enemies and allies play at the same time, making even the most climactic global conflicts between eight players shockingly quick.

Great play, better with more people than fewer but still plays well. Avoid 3 players but otherwise its already highly requested at my table. Can't wait to play again

May bump to an 8 with some additional plays, but some rules issues made the first couple plays rough. Protected defenses don't cause a "no battle" just because your opponent doesn't have an offensive unit that can bypass your defenses. That only happens if they would otherwise win due to having a greater strength.

Good game but only with the right people. Some will be terrible at this game and will ruin the experience.
