Welcome To The CrossRoads
Born into this world of unceasing conflict and strife it is unsurprising that you, just as many before you, have chosen the life of an adventurer. Whether you find yourself as a caravan guard for a wealthy merchant, a soldier sworn to a noble house, a ranger patrolling the wilds, a brigand preying on the unprepared, or a simple traveler on the many roads that cross the wilds of this land, you must be prepared to repulse those who mean you harm. Whether you favor the speed of a long knife, the biting reach of a boar spear, the bulwark of a sturdy shield, or the raw power of a heavy axe, one thing is certain… those who are unprepared of indecisive rarely survive for long on these crossroads!
CrossRoads is a hybrid deck building and tactical war game in which players compete against one another using characters of their own creation. Character creation is accomplished through the assembling of a 30 card deck comprised of both item and ability cards. Ability cards are grouped into categories called affinities, each affinity represents a unique style of combat with its own unique types of weapons.
For instance: The Subtlety Affinity focuses on utilizing the quick movements and flurries of fast strikes that training with daggers and long knives affords a warrior. A character who possesses Subtlety abilities, and has daggers equipped, will be more flexible on the battlefield than their opponents.
Players may choose to build their characters with whatever abilities and equipment they wish, because of this characters are not restricted to a single Affinity or fighting style.
Once characters are created players will share simultaneous turns moving their characters around the map, preforming actions, equipping items and so on until one of the characters is either killed or is forced to flee the map. Our system of simultaneous turns is one of the key factors that allows Crossroads to be both unique and competitively rewarding!
