Beasts of Balance: Battle Cards

About this expansion

Beasts of Balance: Battle Cards is a competitive game for 2–3 players in which Divine Creators build animal towers while battling for control of a connected digital world.

Each player represents one region—Land, Sea, or Sky—and aims to fill it with powerful beasts. Physical elements feature NFC tags that the integrated app scans, bringing the tabletop tower and its digital realm together.

Battle mode uses all the physical pieces from the core game and adds a more confrontational challenge. Careful stacking is crucial: if the tower is disturbed, Alberick, the spirit of the volcano, rains fiery lava damage on your beasts. One poorly timed collapse can quickly erase a lead.

The game’s deck of 16 unique NFC Battle Cards gives each player a hand of effects to use in the digital realm. Cards can support attacks, strengthen defence, or create more unpredictable outcomes, adding variety to every clash.

• Build and balance a physical tower of animals.
• Use NFC Battle Cards to trigger digital effects.
• Steal and smite opponents’ beasts across Land, Sea, and Sky.
• Choose a Guardian with customisable powers and a distinctive elemental style.

Guardians express each Divine Creator’s will through lightning bolts, tidal waves, and great lumps of earth. Their special powers can be customised, creating strategic ways to modify the game.

A special card can summon MAGMAAARGH the Cantakerous, a grumpy old dragon worth many points in your region. Keeping him requires Star Energy, but hunger or excessive damage may cause his temper to flare and turn the situation ugly. Beasts of Balance: Battle Cards combines dexterity, digital interaction, and direct competition in one unusual battle for supremacy.
