Territory is a high fantasy strategy card game where players battle against one another using Champions to help secure their Territories while vanquishing their opponents’ Territories and Champions. Territory is set in a classical fantasy landscape where there are several tribes exploring the surrounding realms they find themselves in: magnificent and ancient landscapes from a past that is long forgotten. Champions will explore realms, seek out Relics, and cast Spells to combat other tribes in their quest to uncover the mysteries of the realm.
Players play the game with a deck consisting of Champion cards, Relic Cards, and Spell cards. Players also have a small separate deck called a 'Territory Deck'. The object of the game is to be the first person to get 18 points. Players get points when they destroy an opponent’s Territory, Relic, or Champion from play.
Territory is a turn-based game where players place champions on their Territories and Relics in between their Territories during their turns. Players also may play Spell cards during their turns which help improve gameplay conditions. During a player’s turn, in a distinct phase called the ‘Combat Phase’, Champions attack their opponents' Territories and Relics.
