About Ivion: The Bear & The Badger, from BoardGameGeek:
Ivion combines the intensity of a fighting game with the strategy of deck-building card games to create an experience unlike any other. In Ivion, your deck IS your character, and you build it from a variety of classes and specializations. Each character type has numerous cards from which to choose, along with wildly different playstyles. Mix and match them to create your own, unique character!
THE RUFFIAN tumbles through life, never staying anywhere too long. In her wake, she leaves behind broken jaws, empty purses, and filled hearses. Instead of working for her coin like an ordinary sap, she'll get hers with a growl, grab, and a club to the gut.
THE FRIAR roams the countryside, bringing aid and cheer. He claims the Lady herself guides his humble path, though if that's true, she seems to have a soft spot for taverns. He's not versed in violence, but he does believe in beginner's luck.
