Emblem Five (2023)

Emblem Five is a fast, fun, head-to-head two-player card game about forming and battling teams of colorful "Emblems". Emblems are mysterious, sentient representations of inanimate objects, ideas, and concepts from our world. Each player will form their own deck of these Emblems, then use them to engage in fun battles that utilize teamwork, strategy, timing, and hand-management. The winner of each battle gets to choose which Emblems progress, and which are doomed to be forgotten. Creating a strong deck of Emblems that work well with each other is the key to victory! —description from the designer
