CrossRoads is a hybrid deck building and tactical strategy game in which players compete against one another using characters of their own creation. Unlike traditional card games, in CrossRoads, players control a single character, who is represented on the game board or “Map” with an avatar. Players compete to be the last remaining combatant of a chance encounter in the wilds.
Players may choose to build unique characters, replete with unique abilities and equipment, to best suit their style of play and strategy, or may take one of the pre-built character decks supplied in the rulebook. The care you take in building a character will largely impact your success in combat, as will your ability to assess your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and your willingness to to take bold moves and risky chances.
Once battle is met, players will not take turns attacking, defending, and moving, but will instead move through a series of simultaneous turns together, to more accurately simulate real combat. In order to accomplish this, CrossRoads implements a unique system of simultaneous turns which focuses heavily on prediction, instinct, simultaneous movements, and directionally bound actions. Our system of simultaneous turns is one of the key factors that allows Crossroads to be both unique and competitively rewarding!
