Start for freeWhat to Expect
Players draft and build decks from heroes across four factions to tactically control lanes and arenas. Using Action Points, Grid Movement, and Hand Management, they maneuver miniatures to assault enemy towers or control key objectives. The game features modular boards and over 30 heroes, offering varied tactics and high replayability in a diceless system relying on card modifiers.
Who Is This Game For?
Skytear targets experienced players who enjoy complex card games with tactical miniature combat. With a playtime around 45 minutes, it fits well in game nights. Some prior experience with strategic deckbuilding and area control games is recommended. The minimum age of 13 indicates it is not a casual family game.
How It Works
Players spend Action Points each turn to move heroes on a modular grid and perform actions. Through deck, bag, and pool building combined with hand management, they choose when to play power cards with modifiers. The goal is to achieve one of three victory conditions by controlling areas on the board, using tactical positioning and card play to outmaneuver opponents.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Riccardo Parmeggiani, Skytear merges deckbuilding with miniature tactics in a MOBA-themed setting. Unlike many games in this genre, it is dice-less and uses card-based modifiers. Its combination of drafting, modular boards, and multiple win conditions sets it apart from traditional card games.
