Sudden Conflict: A Buyer's Guide

About Sudden Conflict, from BoardGameGeek:

Sudden Conflict is a two-player miniatures skirmish game where players control teams of unique characters from across a multiverse that lurches on the edge of annihilation. Players battle each other across various battlefields, and can create their own teams using characters from multiple Sudden Conflict sets. There are three separate core sets that each unveil a distinct reality awaiting exploration. Each core set can be played separately, or combined to give players access to a greater pool of character to specific build teams or to create a drafting experience which challenges players to build teams in a way comparable to building decks in trading card games. Players engage in intermittent turns, directing one character at a time to influence the dynamics of the battlefield. With each strategic move, you either push your opponent closer to defeat or capitalise on setbacks, accumulating momentum dice. These momentum dice serve as valuable assets, empowering you to shift the tide in your favour in future conflicts. Each set of Sudden Conflict contains six custom miniatures, six character cards, ten action dice, ten momentum dice, a double-sided battlefield, rulebook and numerous tokens to track various conditions and game states. CORE SETS Sudden Conflict: Valrona presents a dark Renaissance fantasy realm, where a land grapples with the twin challenges of a deadly plague and horrific beasts. Sudden Conflict: Ukyo invites you to a Far East domain inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, all under the rule of an oppressive government. Sudden Conflict: Galactic Throne immerses you in a space opera setting, where the omnipotent Galactic Tyrant - Empress Melar - strives to assert dominance across all realities. EXPANSION SETS Sudden Conflict: Exiled brings six more characters into the mix. Exiled includes 3 pairs of characters which thematically fit into the worlds of Valrona, Ukyo and Galactic Throne, and may be added or swapped into teams to create unique battles. Sudden Conflict: Exiled is not playable without one or more Core Sets. -description from the publisher
