Skytear is a competitive card-driven miniatures game inspired by MOBA video games (like League of Legends) featuring 28 heroes from an original fantasy universe.
Using a draft system that supplements regular deckbuilding, players pick heroes from four factions in order to flexibly respond to their opponent’s selections. Then, using these heroes, players compete to take control of the lanes and lead the minions there to assault the enemies towers, or enter the dome to take control of the outsider there. In doing so, they will win one of the three victory conditions selected at the start of the game, allowing for potential bluffing or feints by switching objective.
Skytear is diceless, instead revolving around modifiers printed on every power cards. This duality of effect means deckbuilding is a nuanced issue: cards that are most beneficial when played (and likely will) come with a negative modifier, reducing the effectiveness of most attacks. At the same time, drafting a particular hero provides you with their associated cards, meaning flexibility can be integrated into your hero selections.
With two maps, 28 heroes, and over 65 power cards at launch, Skytear is an extremely replayable tactical experience.

Didn't liked it at all. To many confusion. Could depend on many things. That's why I would give the game another chance.

The huge potential of this game has been sunk in dramatically bad instruction and unintuitive terminology. After reading the manual three times, the first game still had to be done with reading the rules. The prospect of returning to the game after a break and rereading the instructions is so discouraging that I don't want to play it anymore.

Great game with lots of different avenues for enjoyment. First there's the hobby element. The models are fully assembled and very detailed. They are very fun to paint. Next there's the gameplay, which is card-based and highly enjoyable. Finally, there is the community and community engagement of the creators, which is simply the best that I have seen for this type of game. Can't wait to play more.
