Watch “Re;Act Impressions - Creating Elegance in Skirmish Games,” a board game review for Re;ACT: The Arts of War from Liege of Games on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Liege of Games on YouTube:
I love talking about board games and today we're talking about the latest project from Brother Ming Games, Re;Act. This is a 1 vs 1 grid based dueling game about different artists with super powers based on their art style.

Each character comes with a unique pre-built deck of cards, all of which are either "Intents", which start off a chain, or "Reactions", which can be played in response to any intent or react. This react chain is resolved first in last out, and is at the heart of the gameplay.
As you work to damage your opponent or control the board with your character and summons, you'll also be competing to finish your masterpiece before your opponent, a gorgeous 3 card spread of your character's greatest work. Doing so will grant you powers of your art form's truest expressions, and will be key to victory.
How does it work, what did I think of it, and what do you need to know in order to figure out whether or not it's right for you? Let's talk!!
Thanks for watching!

About Re;ACT: The Arts of War, from BoardGameGeek:
Re;Act is a 1 vs 1 grid based card dueling game about different artists fighting with incredible magic powers based on their different art forms. This cast of colorful characters come with extremely asymmetrical powers and gameplay mechanics including a brazen calligrapher whose sword scabbard is giant ink brush, a mysterious dancer whose flowing steps summon giant fish, and a young sculptor whose creatures come to life to swarm his enemies.
Each character comes with a unique pre-built deck of cards, all of which are either "Intentions", which start off a chain, or "Reactions", which can be played in response to an intention or reaction. All effects are played to the React chain, which resolve only once both players pass on playing reactions, and resolve backwards: first in last out. Inspired heavily by the Yugioh Effect Chain and Magic Stack, Re;ACT aims to combine the crunchy competitive counter play of TCGs with the sleek approachability of modern board games.
As you work to damage your opponent or control the board with your character and summons, you'll also be competing to finish your masterpiece before your opponent, a gorgeous 3 card spread of your character's greatest work. Doing so will grant you powers of your art form's truest expressions, and will be key to victory.
