Gruff: Clash of the Battle Goats
Designed by Brent Critchfield
Clash is a tactical card game of brutal goat combat. The game can be learned in just a few minutes but has a tremendous amount of depth. The box contains enough content for 2 players to immediately play out of the same box, or you can combine Clash with our previous game Gruff to unlock nearly limitless deck-building options and multiplayer modes.
In Clash you take the role of a shepherd with a custom team of Battle Goats (called gruffs). In gameplay terms you will choose a Shepherd card (Which represents your health and other stats) and 3 Goat cards. In Shuffle-building style each of the goat cards also comes with a goat deck. Pick 8 cards per goat to create your deck of 24.
Players take turns activating goats, playing cards then launching attacks at your opponent. However, when a gruff attacks it does not deal damage until the beginning of your next turn allowing your opponent a turn to dodge, deflect, or counterattack!
A Player wins when they can break through the enemy line of defenses and kill the enemy shepherd, or if you successfully kill all 3 enemy gruffs.
