The highly anticipated skirmish game “Masters of the Universe: Battleground” has made its debut on the crowdfunding platform Gamefound, expanding its availability to enthusiasts in North America, Australia, New Zealand, and various European countries. With a remarkable average rating of 8.5 on BoardGameGeek, the game invites players to step into the vibrant universe of the iconic Masters of the Universe franchise.
In “MOTU: Battleground,” players have the opportunity to fully personalize their characters by selecting weapons, spells, and trinkets, creating combinations that are as unique as they are powerful. The game’s design integrates asymmetric elements through Fate & Glory cards that enrich the strategic depth, while mana is cleverly used to mitigate randomness, providing a controlled yet dynamic gameplay experience.
This edition introduces two new factions that promise to intensify the battles and expand the lore of the universe. Players will decide the fate of the Snake Men™ and the Preternian Heroes™ in what promises to be a memorable clash.
