Battlecrest: Rin Mana – Hero Set (2025)

Overview

How about some more heroes? With more heroes you can get a lot of variety out of your games. You can also play them in solo (either as or against them) and even play 3-4P team games.

The mystic hermit Rin Mana has spent their entire lifetime unraveling the secrets of reality itself. Long years of isolation have distorted their moral compass even as their mind expanded with world-warping power. Now they crusade to remake the Neververse according to their own inscrutable principles.

Components:

Rin Mana Hero set: 1 Hero, 1 Health, 4 Action cards. Rin Mana AI Sheet: for solo play, requires Imperator expansion.

What is the mark of a true champion? Legendary heroes clash across the Neververse to find out.

Battlecrest is a card-based tactical skirmish game for 2 players (1-4 with expansions). With perfect information, players must truly outwit their opponent to win.

Characters are composed of 6-card sets featuring a hero card, a health tracker, and action cards. Occasionally a minion or item will replace an action card.

The map is built of 6 cards as well, with the cards randomly placed in a set pattern.

Players take turns maneuvering their characters around the dynamic, and often dangerous map while unleashing powerful attacks. As action cards are used they open up new possibilities and empower the character’s battlecrests. Build up to decisive strikes or refocus to get powers back. Every character has a unique set of actions and preferred tactics, so no two battles play the same.
