Ever been playing Guild Wars 2 and thought to yourself, wouldn’t I rather be playing a card game? UK-based designer and developer Luke Dowding has just the game for you. He’s put together Guild Wars 2: Heroes of the Mists, a 200-card collectible card game.
“The objective of the card game is to defeat the opponent’s Hero. Each Hero will start with 80 Health and the first person to receive 80 Damage to their Hero loses,” Dowding explains. “Players will build a deck of 40 cards each, 10 of those cards will be predetermined by the Profession you chose called Skill cards. The remaining 30 cards will be Minion cards and it will be up to the players to select and build a deck they think will bring them victory. Every turn players will use Endurance to summon Minion or Skill cards to damage the enemy Minions or the Hero.”
The game is being freely distributed right now, meaning you can download and print the cards to play yourself, or you can wait for the game’s integration with Tabletop Simulator, work on which is ongoing. Accordingly, we hope ArenaNet is able to let the game survive in the generous spirit with which it was given to the community.
