Devir Mindbug Beyond: Eternity card game

+8 YEARS OLD? 2 PLAYERS? 20 MINUTES? Death is not the final frontier in Mindbug! From the confines of eternity comes a horde of creatures ready to fight in epic duels of strategic high voltage! This completely independent expansion of the original Mindbug brings us new tactics and combinations, with empowered creatures and abilities that you can play from the discard pile! This edition includes more than 50 new cards with the most extravagant bugs you can imagine! You will play with the horde of zombi-ants, the felinisco, the patohydra, the spectral lemur, the ghostly dog, the rock-antelope, the berserker rabbit, the trash-dove, or the pyromancer salamander, among many other fantastic creatures! As a novelty, some of these cards have effects when they are in the discard pile, so the strategy takes on a new dimension! The shield beetle, for example, grants 1 power to allied creatures when it is in the discard pile! Or the royal pegasus gives you back 1 life point! As in the original Mindbug, you must be careful, because at any moment your opponent can use one of their Mindbugs to take control of your monsters! Co-designed by the legendary Richard Garfield, creator of the famous Magic: The Gathering and King of Tokyo, among many other games, Mindbug is a card game for two players, ages 8 and up, that allows games of between 15 and 25 minutes! To start playing, you just have to shuffle and deal! Each player receives 5 cards, ready to play in their hand, and 5 more that are reserved face down! This set of 10 cards forms the squad of creatures that you will send into battle with the aim of defeating your opponent! Next, each player takes three more cards face down that will serve as life point markers! Finally, each player takes two Mindbug cards! On their turn, players can do one of the following actions: play a card or attack with a creature! If they choose the first option, they must lower one of the cards from their hand to the playing area! Next, the opponent must decide whether to use one of their Mindbugs! If they decide to do so, they will take control of the creature and resolve its effects as if they had just played it from their hand! In return, the active player who has lost control of their card can play again on their turn! On the other hand, if the player decides to attack, they must...Choose one of the cards from the play area to fight? The opponent must select one of their creatures to block the blow or lose a life? If two monsters face each other, the one with the highest power value will win? And if one of the players loses their 3 life points… The game ends! The cards that make up the game have different abilities that adapt to infinite strategies? Frenzy allows a monster to attack twice, stealth makes it so that only other stealth creatures can block it, hunters can attack opponent´s cards… In a single game both players only use 20 cards (10 each), so there will always be creatures left out and, therefore, the combinations of monsters will be unique and random in each duel? Mindbug combines the accessibility and balance of any card game with the depth of a strategic card game? The result is a duel of skill with a bizarre twist that is unlike any other card game you´ve played? Although it is very easy to learn and start playing, Mindbug will blow your mind with the number of combos it offers? One of the most special mechanics of the game allows you to control your opponent´s cards, so even the most veteran players will have to adapt to each situation if they want to win? You don´t just play with your 10 cards, you also play with your opponent´s? And it is not enough to have the best cards… but to know when to play them?
