Description from the designer:
Rise of the Exiled is a fast-paced, family-friendly game for 2-12 players. While simple to learn and quick to complete, games are fun and competitive for all ages.
Players split into two teams and each player chooses a character. Each character has a clear plastic playing card for a weapon. Players use these weapons to attack simultaneously by throwing the cards at opposing characters. Hitting a character with your weapon causes a hit, and damage is scored (1 for limbs, 2 for body or 3 damage for head shots). If a player accumulates 7 or more damage, he/she is eliminated. After attacking, each player moves one card length in any direction.
Play repeats until only one team remains. Last team standing, wins.
Each character in Rise of the Exiled has at least one ability to enhance their usefulness on the field of battle. For example, one character can "Blot out the Sky" twice per game to make all opponents attack with their eyes closed on their next attack.
