Capes & Chaos: Strategy Card Game

Capes & Chaos is an all new story universe of Superheroes and Master Villains brought to you by 2C Comics and designer Dan Hopkins. Set in the not too distant future of current day earth, devastated after an apocalyptic attack of aliens and demons, the grand opening of the Capes & Chaos universe is revealed through this, the strategy card game. Included right out of the box are two full stand-alone versions, Basic Edition and Advanced Edition. Basic Edition plays as a "medium-weight board game" with fresh mechanics, and over 140 unique works of high quality art! Continuing right on top of Basic Edition, adding depth and enhancing strategy, Advanced Edition dives deeper into a "dueling style" card game, but with a twist! In Capes & Chaos, while you are still competing against other players, you do not go head-to-head. Instead you will fight neutral opponents in a compelling mix of both new concepts and traditional elements of combat from tabletop RPGs. Capes & Chaos is sure to deliver hours of hobby fun!

In Capes & Chaos: Strategy Card Game you are taking on the role of a "Titan", the most powerful of superhuman heroes. Your deck of cards represents your superpowers and military assets for protecting your people and fighting against the overwhelming chaos threatening what little remains of civilization. As part of a larger effort to protect the last bastions of society, Titans fight to defeat enemies and complete missions on the battlefield. In order to promote greater success, a friendly competition has ensued among the Titans. Who can defeat the most dangerous foes while completing their missions the fastest? Race against your fellow Titans to accumulate the most Threat Points!

As a Titan you will play with a constructed deck of "Cape Cards" and fight against a random assortment of "Chaos Cards" as the opposition of the game. Cape Cards do not have common card backs, each side is unique. One side shows the card's art, the other side shows the card's abilities. Basic Edition only uses the art side of the card, where as Advanced Edition uses both sides of the card.

There are no rule variations between Advanced Edition and Basic. Advanced builds right on top of Basic Edition by adding additional rules. Therefore Basic is either a stepping stone to Advanced and must be learned first, or a separate game to be enjoyed on its own merits.

Game length varies as the number of rounds to complete a game is determined by the players at the start of each game. At the end of the game, accumulated Threat Points are tallied to determine winner placements.
