From the website:

Épica is a collectible card game where you embody a powerful hero of the Shadowlands, wielding a Celestial Weapon that allows you to run wild in battle, pushing your abilities to the limit.

Your mission is to protect the supremacy of your Clan, defeating the rival heroes. But Épica is not only about battling, it's a unique gaming experience, an authentic author's game, perfectly worked and developed for over 2 years.

In "Épica: Dark Ages", the first installment of the game, you'll find a booklet describing the game rules and an innovative History Mode, where you'll be submerged into an adventure story playable by one or more players, telling of the outcome of the battles that happen across the Shadowlands during these tragic times.

There are two additional types of game: Battle Mode, where a single deck makes possible to engage up to 10 players, each embodying a different hero of this shadowy world. And, of course, Tournament Mode, where you can combine many sets of the game and upcoming expansions to build your own playing deck and participate in the many events and contests that will be arranged across all Spain.

In the box, you'll also find more than 100 finely illustrated cards that will amaze you for their quality and realism. Think of each card as a little gem, fully tested and developed.

War has begun, the Oni hybrid warriors, crossing of demons and humans, are willing to conquer the Shadowlands. Only a few humans stand before their ruthless advance. Will you be able to stop them?
