Our take on A Token War
The game’s emphasis on selecting tokens and adapting tactics gives each encounter room for variation, but places less emphasis on a fixed, predictable battle sequence. Local versus play also uses a shared token pool, rather than separate collections for each participant.
What is A Token War?
A Token War combines deckbuilding with turn-based tactical battles.
Players collect tokens and spells, choose a set for each encounter, and use them to fight across five regions. Between battles, stronghold upgrades can change tactics or reinforce an existing approach. Encounters mix designed and procedural elements, so the battle setup varies and calls for different token, spell, and upgrade combinations. The game also includes local versus play, where participants compete using a shared pool of tokens. Its focus is on assembling a battle collection and adapting its use from one encounter to the next.
