Rating Summary: This is a strategy game in which players engage in turn-based card battles on a grid-like board. Players take turns selecting cards that represent magical creatures with special attacks (e.g., fireballs, energy bursts, lightning strikes). Some cards show characters getting bitten, slashed with blades, or struck by arrows. A handful of cards depict small blood drips or splatters. Some cards contain suggestive material/nudity: a human-like character with her breast exposed (no discernible detail); creatures with exposed buttocks; characters wearing low-cut tops that expose moderate amounts of cleavage.
