Description

Theme:
You and your friends are heroes standing before the vanguard of an invading army. Use your array of very large, sometimes ridiculous, weapons to try to defeat the vanguard.

Goal of the game:
Players try to keep a grid of enemies from growing too large, all while trying to outscore the other players in the end. If the enemy army gets too large, everyone loses!

Gameplay:
Players draw a weapon from the Weapon deck. Weapons have two stats: Damage done and how many times the weapon can be swung. They use this weapon to deal damage to the enemy formation, starting with the front line. Players can keep hitting the same enemy, or proceed to an adjacent enemy. Players keep any enemies they kill. The player can cash in the enemies they've killed to draw from the Epic deck. Epic attacks function the same as a weapon, but are far more powerful.
