The Legend of Korra: Pro-Bending Arena
Based on the fan-favorite Nickelodeon animated series, The Legend of Korra: Pro-Bending Arena is a two-player competition of wits, tricks, and speed as players take control of Republic City’s favorite sport.
Focusing on the rivalry between the Future Industries Fire Ferrets and The White Falls Wolfbats, The Legend of Korra: Pro-Bending Arena has two players each taking control of a team, drafting card decks for their benders, then playing cards to place elemental tokens around the board in an effort to overwhelm their opponent. As in the show, pro-bending matches are a game of push and pull, with an objective toward being the team that has either advanced the farthest forward, or completely knocked their competitors out of the ring.
The game play of The Legend of Korra: Pro-bending Arena is closely modeled after the popular Pro-bending sport featured in the first season of Avatar: The Legend of Korra. As such, the game is designed for 2 players, each controlling a team of 3 benders: earth, fire, and water.
The objective of the game is simple: be on the other team’s side of the arena when the game ends and you will be victorious, or dominate the competition, pushing all their benders off the back of the arena to end the game immediately and claim the championship as yours!

Solid 2 player game. My friend and I enjoyed all teams and the meta stayed interesting with tricks and deck building. The fast nature of the game is nice too.

30+ plays. The game has more depth than people seem to give it credit for. Tracking your opponents cards and figuring out which ones he might play next is crucial to win. I also really like how you never completely lost before the game ends. I've had plenty of sessions where the winner was the one with the least benders still in the game. It's crucial to know when to attack, defend, play for chi, or even let a bender get kicked out so you can hit twice as hard the next round. I'm not saying this game is anything near a 10, but it's good fun, and it probably will stay in my collection.

Great implementation of a background plot from an amazing show. This was the first game I ever felt like I needed to paint the miniatures.
