Move me one square back (so I'm right out of range), put the shooty droid in front of Byron, end of beat I want to wind up on top of the Dampening Droid.

Byron's attack misses Aria, but strikes an empty space! With a recursive howl, the world changes form...

Beat 6

quote:

Magocracy of Willat?
The Shattered Labyrinth
As the mirrors break, their magic is unleashed; the council chamber is transformed from an elaborate parlor trick to a nightmarish maze of distorted distances and impossible architecture. Only the strongest will escape!

Entry: Use the 7-space board, players start in their previous positions. Both players gain two distortion tokens.

Mechanics: At the end of each even-numbered beat, both players gain a distortion token. During the ante step, a player may spend a distortion token to move to any empty space on the board.

Aria
16 life
Discard 1: Dimensional Reconfiguration
Discard 2: Ionic Drive
Distortion tokens: 2

Byron
6 life
Discard 1: Heartless Grasp
Discard 2: Deathless Burst
Finisher: Soulgate
Distortion tokens: 2


pre:
       
                                                
Byron antes a distortion token, moving right into Aria's stupid face!

pre:
       
                                                
Aria antes a distortion token to swap sides!

pre:
       
                                                
Aria


Byron


Aria retreats two spaces, causing Byron to miss and striking him in return for 3.

At end of beat, both players gain a distortion token.

Technically you still have one mask left, loss of life can't take you below 1 life. Do you want to keep going?

Players who have not submitted their pair within a full week of a beat being announced will be assumed to have conceded.

In any case, any thoughts on the arena? I'm thinking the mechanics for the second half need to change. Right now it just encourages this weird metagame of trying to go second so you can have the last laugh on distortion tokens.

I thought that was intentional tbh

sort of a "too slow!" "no, it is you who are too slow!" etc joke

Androc

I guess. It just feels sort of off that the non-active player has the advantage on the next beat. I'm also not sure if totally symmetric token refresh is the best approach, since they just sort of cancel each other out.

Time's up, the game ends in a draw.
