Broken heroes captured by a cruel enemy must battle for the chance of freedom. Once allies, they must now fight to the death. Will you overcome the odds and claim your victory?
In Shackled, 2 or 4 players take the role of these heroes, which are split into teams of two. Each round, players will secretly play one of several unique action cards tied to that hero, which will then be revealed simultaneously and played from fastest to slowest. Each action is tied to specific directions relative to how the character faces, meaning positioning and rotation are both very important. When a hero reaches zero health, the opposing team gets 10 points, and the hero is out until the end of the next round. There are also relics in the center of the map that offer points towards victory, as well as powerful abilities for the hero that captures them. The first team to reach 20 points is victorious!
