Yomi 2: Bashing vs Finesse

This starter set contains two characters: Troq the Well-Meaning Beast and River the Dancing Fencer. It also includes two sets of Orange and Diamond gem cards to augment your fighters. Yomi 2 is a fighting card game. Pick your character deck, pick a gem to augment them, and fight an opponent. Like in a fighting game, you’ll block high and low attacks, throw overly defensive players, and perform combos of several attacks in a row. Yomi 2 refines this concept over the original game with several new mechanics, such as gems to alter your character, knockdowns that allow high/low mixups, the ability to “gain the edge” to speed up your attacks, and a system to exchange cards in your hand with cards in your discard pile so you can build the hand you want. Gameplay involves you and your opponent each playing a combat card in a double-blind fashion, simultaneously revealing it, and then playing additional combo cards if applicable. Before playing your combat card each turn, you also have several ways to manipulate your hand, such as powering up for super moves or exchanging an unwanted card in your hand for a more desirable card in your discard pile. Compatible with the 10 characters in the Road to Morningstar Set and the 10 characters in the Shadows over Flagstone set. —description from the publisher
