Across the universe, fighters are drawn to the Nexus, an interdimensional hub run by the shadowy intergalactic mafia. As battles unfold, fans throw objects, the mafia interferes, the arena twists, powerful implants are installed and influential sponsors acquired. Echoes of the Nexus is a fast-paced deck-building miniature fighting game for 2 to 4 players, with asymmetrical characters and multiple arenas. Players simultaneously and secretly select action cards, trying to sequence and combine combos thanks to the innovative Echoes system. Tactical movement and no-dice combat resolution work together with the simple but deeply strategical initiative system. Your hero evolves during the game and acquires stronger cards and implants, while gaining the favor of the crowd. Take advantage of your fighter's unique abilities and playstyles, from portal manipulation to turret deployment, stealth assassinations, or grotesque horror. Will the Nexus crown you, or crush you? -description from the publisher
