Relicblade: Adventure Battle Game

A small-scale fantasy skirmish game in which one player leads a party of heroes while the other commands brutal pig men. Characters represented by miniatures battle among ancient ruins, seeking a powerful relic hidden at the center of the conflict. Players customize their characters with unique upgrades that shape their abilities and tactics. When a character claims the relic, it is drawn randomly from a deck and grants a powerful boon; if its bearer is disabled, another character can seize it. Games use a compact 2' x 2' play area, with each side fielding three to six characters and completing a battle in about 45 minutes.
