About this board game

Codex: Card-Time Strategy – Starter Set is a customizable, non-collectable card game for 2 players, with a play time of about 45 minutes. Set in the Fantasy Strike universe, it draws inspiration from real-time strategy video games such as Starcraft and Warcraft 3.

This Starter Set provides an accessible way to learn how the Codex system works. It focuses on the Bashing and Finesse heroes, giving players a smaller card pool and simpler cards than the broader game offers.

Rather than beginning with the full range of options, the Starter Set presents a more focused introduction to Codex: Card-Time Strategy. Its streamlined selection is designed to help new players understand the system before moving beyond the set.

  • Designed for 2 players
  • Approximately 45 minutes of play time
  • Features the Bashing and Finesse heroes
  • Customizable and non-collectable card game
  • Set in the Fantasy Strike universe

Once you go beyond the Starter Set, Codex offers access to more cards and lets you play with three heroes at a time. The Starter Set therefore serves as a focused starting point for exploring the game’s card-driven strategy and learning its core system with less complexity.

Released in 2016, Codex: Card-Time Strategy – Starter Set is a compact entry into a fantasy strategy card game shaped by the ideas of real-time strategy gaming.
