GUILDHOUSE GAMES PRESENTS
A BRAND NEW TABLETOP XCG EXPERIENCE
Varia is a dueling game that brings cards & dice together to create a thrilling gaming experience.
-
Create a route to victory using clever card combinations while simultaneously preventing your own defeat with tactical defensive moves.
-
You’ll use combinations of weapon, armor, and action cards to create a plan of attack (or response to an incoming attack) every turn!
-
Once the plans are set, players roll the dice, and see whose tactics were the best. Knock your opponent’s health to zero and you’ll be the winner!
-
Ready to start playing? Pick from one of over 15+ unique fantasy-themed pre-constructed classes, or create the class that best represents you.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
IS FAST AND FUN
-
Players simultaneously take part in every turn - you’ll always have something to do!
-
Resource system is consistent - you’ll never feel like the game is beating you!
-
Resource pool starts at maximum - you’ll be in the thick of the action from the very first turn!
-
Deck Building restrictions don’t bog down gameplay - you’ll focus on making the right play, not having the right resources!
Varia was designed with customization in mind. Any and all Varia cards can be mixed and matched to create an experience that is as unique as you!
-
Innovative attribute system allows for deckbuilding restrictions that don't slow down gameplay. You’ll make tough decisions regarding what cards to include before you play, but won't have to worry about how you’ll access those cards while you play.
-
Deck levels both ensure parity and enable freedom. As long as you and your opponent build decks with the same agreed upon level in mind, your card power levels will be equal and fair.
-
Asset values further that idea by giving players equal access to weapons and armor they bring to a fight, all determined by an agreed-upon threshold.
-
Load up with equipment worth 10, 30, or 100 gold, or fight at level 5, level 10, even level 20. The limit is your imagination!
IS BUILT ON COMMUNITY
-
Varia is sold following an expandable card game format, meaning none of our products are randomized. You always know exactly what you are purchasing! This is a purposeful decision we made in an effort to keep the player’s costs low, enabling a wider audience to afford and access the game.
-
Designed with new players in mind, our Out of the Box format is a low-barrier, low-cost option for fun and fair organized play. You only need a single preconstructed class deck to be considered competitive!
-
Created to help new players and support existing ones, our Discord server is a fun, friendly place to find opponents, talk about the game, share stories, and even schedule demos with certified teachers as well as the creators themselves!
