A deckbuilder full of miracle turns, magical gems,
and a Scepter of Power that tests your greed.
DESCRIPTION
You’ve acquired magical gems which give power, but at what price? Those who hold too many gems are cursed forever. What’s worse, the ultimate gem to rule them all has been forged into a single, mighty scepter. Whoever holds it wields even more power at an even greater price.
In Puzzle Strike 2, players choose one of 10 characters, then build their deck as they play, gaining the tools to arrange and manipulate their set of colored gems. These gems can be “crashed” (destroyed) in order to build up power for four different super moves as well as to flood other players with more gems. As this process unfolds, gems will fly back and forth between players as they desperately try to remain under the threshold of corruption. Holding the scepter “helps,” but can also doom the greedy.
WHAT’S COOL ABOUT IT?
Visually bold components including 123 custom-molded gems. These tactile components are fun to manipulate.
Unusual comeback system makes for close games.
Games usually culminate in 1, 2, or 3 “miracle turns” and a big finish.
Aesthetic makes it good for couples and families, but gameplay suitable for hardcore players too.
Unique mechanic in deckbuilders where the color of cards in the bank creates a “drop pattern” of gems for the opponent.
CENTRAL MECHANICS
Gems: Pushing Your Luck
Colored gems fall into your gem pile each turn. Rearrange them with swaps to line up the colors. Then destroy them with crash gems to fill up you opponents’ gem piles.
The more gems you have, the more powerful you are but you lose the game if you have too many.
Drop Patterns
Build your deck as you play by adding one card from the bank each turn. The colors of cards you leave behind in the bank determine the pattern of gem colors your opponent will receive. You might want a certain card, but is it worth letting the opponent have a drop pattern of three blues?
The Scepter of Power
The Scepter of Power is the ultimate test of greed. While you hold it, your defense is weakened but your access to super moves is greatly enhanced. Do you dare hold it, or will you yield it to another player?
Beautiful, tactile gems
Includes 123 physical gems in four colors and shapes, plus three special diamonds.
