The Wheel of Time Collectible Card Game - Quick Overview of The Game

Quick Overview of The Game

Representing either the forces of good or evil, both players reenact the epic struggle for victory as being told in Jordan's books. While building up forces in the form of supporting characters and troops and enhancing them with powerups, the players try to weaken the opponent by hampering them with effects and inflicting damage during battles. These battles are fought over 'challenges', missions that each player can initiate. The winner of the challenge will receive a specific reward as specified by the challenge. The dice are used to generate 4 different kind of abilities, needed for recruiting characters, doing damage and generating support or opposition during the challenges and the Last Battle.

Players try to obtain "dominance" by controlling the 'Pattern', which is done by winning the Pattern challenge that is initiated each turn. Dominance gives the player the advantage of knowing what the opponent does before acting himself. When the Pattern is filled with 20 tokens, the final act of the game commences: The Last Battle. All characters and troops able to fight must enter the battleground for this epic clash. Rounds of battle are fought until one player has generated more than five support over the opponent's total opposition. That player wins the game. The other way to win is by eliminating the opponent's starting character.

Famous quotes containing the words quick and/or game:

    The working woman may be quick to see any problems with children as her fault because she isn’t as available to them. However, the fact that she is employed is rarely central to the conflict. And overall, studies show, being employed doesn’t have negative effects on children; carefully done research consistently makes this clear.
    Grace Baruch (20th century)

    The savage soul of game is up at once—
    The pack full-opening various, the shrill horn
    Resounded from the hills, the neighing steed
    Wild for the chase, and the loud hunter’s shout—
    O’er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
    Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy.
    James Thomson (1700–1748)
