 GAME SYSTEM

 
 
 This entry is to allow for discussion/rating of the game system as a whole. It is not for a specific product or release. Versions will appear on the individual item pages.

 



 Varia is a new style of expandable card game that pits you against your opponent in combat.

When playing Varia, there are no minions to protect you or creature summons to hide behind. Instead, you raise the shield. You cast the spell. You swing for the win with your weapon of choice. If you want to win a game of Varia, you are going to have to do the fighting yourself.

Each Varia class deck allows players to feel what it's like to actually be that class. While each deck offers its own unique take on combat, Varia is a highly-configurable system that also enables you to build a custom class that best represents you. ​With Varia, the only limit is your imagination.
