Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Sticknia, you draft a squad of six Stick cards, each with unique attack, defense, and special abilities. You place your markers on a modular grid board and move them strategically to attack or defend. Players play cards from an open draft to strengthen their units or weaken opponents. Battles are resolved with dice rolls until only one team remains on the board, resulting in player elimination.
Who Is This Game For?
Sticknia is aimed at experienced gamers who enjoy tactical adventure games with direct player interaction. With a 120-minute playtime and a minimum age of 13, it requires patience and familiarity with more complex mechanics. Beginners should expect a longer learning curve.
How It Works
Players begin by drafting their team of six Stick cards. They place their Stick markers on a modular board with grid movement. During turns, players move their markers, play cards from an open drafting pool to enhance their units or hinder opponents, and resolve battles using dice. Player elimination occurs when a team is defeated and removed from the game.
