Knee Deep in Hexes Core (engl.)

Description

Knee Deep in Hexes Core is a strategy game for 2 players aged 14+. Combine deck building with 90s real-time strategy in a fast-paced skirmish on a desert planet. Choose unique companions, build extractors and units, play action and war cards, and outsmart your opponent to destroy their headquarters or key units.

Knee Deep in Hexes combines deck building with the spirit of your favorite 90s real-time strategy games, now reimagined as a board game experience. Set on a distant desert planet after humanity's exodus from Earth, two players compete for scarce resources, constructing extractors, factories, and units ranging from speedy construction vehicles to fearsome Paloozas.

Choose your companions, each with unique game-changing skills: the General overseeing the battlefield from orbit, the experienced Commander who rapidly adapts tactics, the Tech who supports troops through innovation, and the Trickster who outsmarts the opponent. Each companion has a distinctive deck of action and war cards. Players may use these predefined decks or, for those seeking greater depth, engage in deck building to discover unique strategies.

The game board offers high variability. You can opt for a quick match using a predefined casual map or draft planetary cards to create a unique world before playing. New factions, companions, decks, and worlds are continually being developed and tested to expand the experience.

In this fast-paced skirmish, securing basic supplies quickly is critical: build construction vehicles and extractors to gather materials and energy before engaging your opponent on a tight map. Play action cards on your turn to gain strategic advantages and take the initiative. Carefully deploy your tanks and utilize war cards to gain powerful battle bonuses. Then declare the war zone you wish to attack—however, the battle occurs at the end of your opponent’s turn, giving them an entire turn to respond, redeploy, or counterattack elsewhere. Planning and timing are essential to outsmart your enemy and claim victory by destroying their headquarters or eliminating their most valuable units.
