ARCHFIEND
VS
SMASH N' GRAB

Archfiend VS Smash N' Grab is a mixture of in your face round after round smash mouth gameplay, with the randomness of a Leader that finds new opportunities in every round. Archfiend is often refereed to as a drunken master style approach to gameplay and strategy. Adaption, as well as the ability to manipulate multiple ability triggers in a round. Archfiend has a playstyle that is equally challenging to explain, master, and play against; as it is gratifying to master and conquer against.

Skirmish is a quick game type and perfect introduction for Earth Tau™. Providing fast game times, and a more focused approach on single Location domination.

Skirmish rules allow for turn after turn Deployment in the same Location, unlike WAR.

You cannot legally deploy into Admin turn after turn, this rule also applies to War.

Use your deployment marker to track between Admin and Location deployment.

WAR is the original game type for Earth Tau™. Deeper and more varied combinations, strategies, and playstyles come together to create engaging and challenging gameplay.

WAR games are rich in watercooler moments that inspire additional replays. Multiple Locations create unique combo plays, challenging the ideas of a single dominate game meta.

WAR rules do not allow for any turn after turn Deployment in the same Location or Admin, unlike Skirmish.

Use your deployment marker to track between Admin and multiple Location deployment.

Earth Tau's™ Card-Board Game™, (CBG)™ dynamic scoring system changes your objectives: making every game unique!

The 13 Locations in season one, each have a different scoring requirement. This adds unlimited variety to the common Health Counter win conditions of traditional competitive card games.
