Dive into Energy Apex, a fast-paced card-drafting investment game. Sharpen your investment skills and form alliances with opponents - or go it alone and outsmart them all!
There is only one action in this game, and that is to draft an investment card.
Gather your wits and draft from the 8 stacks of randomly dealt face-up investment cards. The cards come in 8 different colors, representing the 8 Energy Sectors that they are associated with.
When a stack runs out, the round concludes and the market board is spun toward that particular sector. You will then get to see how valuable your investments in each industry actually are.
Manipulate the market with your rivals and shift the tides of power, but always remember, only one can surf the waves to become the Apex investor of the Energy markets!

- This is a two cost support it's a leadership card play under any player's control max one team card per player this is a team card the team trade is on it if each of your characters has the guardian trait this card gains response after you play an upgrade on an ally draw one card
- I like this card for the possibilities because yes it has to be used in alter ego form yes you're only going to have two in your in your deck so it's not going to come up as frequently but there's so many protection cards already in the game
- the important thing to note here is that there are cards like we just went over with guardians of the galaxy the leadership card where you're going to need the guardian trait on specifically on allies this allows you to be able to include cards in your deck that don't have the guardian trait and then with the plan being add honorary guardian onto them
- nebula is a pretty unique hero and i will say that i think that it's not going to be one that necessarily everyone is going to love
- it's a constantly evolving puzzle is the best way i can think to describe it
- the nine hit points is pretty low when i'm playing solo
- i think it's a really solid hero it's not one i'm disappointed with by any means
