What to Expect

In Solar, two players build decks of 12 character cards with unique attack and defense moves. Each turn, players draw three cards, place one on the battlefield, and put two back under the deck. The offensive player uses their characters' attacks to try to defeat the opponent's characters. Hits remove characters from play, and the game ends when one player loses all characters.

Who Is This Game For?

Solar is designed for players seeking a quick, tactical two-player game. With about 20 minutes per game, it fits short gaming sessions. It suits gamers aged 12 and up who enjoy dice mechanics and push-your-luck elements without complex rules.

How It Works

Players alternate picking characters to build their 12-card decks. Each round, both draw three cards, place one on the battlefield, and return two to the deck bottom. The offensive player uses Dice Rolling to attempt attacks against opponents' characters. The Push Your Luck mechanic is present in drafting and attack decisions. The game ends when a player has no characters left.
