About this board game
Wrathborne Champions is a fully cooperative game for 2–6 players, with sessions lasting around 180 minutes. Chosen by the gods, players become Wrathborne: powerful fighters united against monsters seeking to destroy the civilized world.
Each player controls a specific class through a personal deck of cards. That deck combines class abilities, attacks tied to the weapon used in the game, and a selection of personally chosen items. Together, these cards define the moves available to each character and help the party coordinate its response to every threat.
Damage is applied directly to a player’s deck, making the deck itself part of the character’s life total. Managing available cards is therefore central to survival as the group works together to defeat its enemies before everyone runs out of options.
- Fully cooperative play: the party works together against the game’s monsters.
- Class-based card decks: use unique abilities, weapon-specific attacks, and selected items.
- Giant monster boards: fight one or more monsters represented on 10×10 miniboards.
- Predictable monster behavior: set attacks and actions provide an “AI code” players can study.
Unlike many games built around a single major enemy, the Monster Cards in Wrathborne Champions specify the attacks and actions monsters perform each round. This gives players the chance to anticipate what is coming and make tactical choices during their turns.
Every enemy must be tactically dismantled in a different way, rewarding coordinated decisions and careful use of each character’s abilities. Whether approached casually or as a demanding challenge, Wrathborne Champions puts the party’s planning, card management, and courage to the test.
