Great deck builder

Great theme, nice quality character cards with hp and mastery (power) counters. A good deck builder at an accessible price with nice faction combos, powers that get stronger with mastery as the game progresses, and a nice balance and options to pursue of attack, defence/healing, mastery.

It is an elimination game so 3p+ it is possible to gang up on a player to eliminate, and decisions need to be made whether to deal damage equally or pick on the weak. Eliminated players can sometimes be left waiting a while for another game (this is NOT done in half an hour like the box may suggest - roughly double that) - would have liked some rules or options to keep them active or engaged in the game if that could have been possible (i.e. continuing dealing attacks on a turn by turn basis like on Clank! games?).

One-hundred years ago, The Infinity Engine was shattered and its reality-bending shards have destroyed most of the world. Now, it falls upon you to gather your forces, defeat your adversaries, and rebuild the Infinity Engine! Will you survive?

Shards of Infinity combines an unprecedented level of strategy and customization into one small box. Rather than competing for points, players must outlast their opponents and reduce their health to zero, which can be done in a number of ways. Each player starts the game with a basic deck of cards, and they can acquire new cards from a central display of six cards (as in Ascension) and add these new cards to their deck or use them immediately, depending on what they are.

Every character starts with fifty health and zero mastery. On each turn, you can spend one gem (a.k.a., money) to gain a mastery point. The more mastery you have, the more powerful your cards become. This lets even the weak cards in your starting deck become more powerful as the game progresses. If you reach a total of thirty mastery, you can activate your Infinity Shard, which instantly defeats your opponent.

As you acquire new cards, you can employ allies and champions to craft your strategy. Mercenary cards can be added to your deck as in other deck-building games or they can be played immediately from the center row for their ability; this adds even more drama to each player's turn as a key mercenary flip can alter the very outcome of the game!

Will you neutralize your opponents before they can fully master the Infinity Shard? With careful planning and aggressive gameplay, only one player can emerge the winner!
