WizKids has announced their newest game, Time Barons, is now available in North American game stores. Designed by Jon Perry and Derek Yu, 2 – 4 players must recruit Followers and use weapons from all ages to take out rival Barons and their own Followers.

You have 3 actions per turn to gain or move Followers, build a Site, play an action card, place attachments on Sites, or move up an Era. There are four Eras, each representing a different generation of technology, and the cards in a higher Era have stronger abilities. Action and Reaction cards are used to turn the tides of battle. Attachments slide into your Sites, providing much needed bonuses to you or penalties to opponents. With so many different combinations of cards, spanning over different decades, the possibilities seem endless!

To win, either reduce the other player’s Followers to zero or have the most after 3 piles of Era cards have been emptied. The game shines in a duel format, but can be played 2 vs 1, and teams of 2 vs 2. There is also a free-for-all format, as well as additional Expansion cards to add new Sites, weapons, and events to your game.

WizKids has announced the upcoming card game, Time Barons. The game is designed by Jon Perry and Derek Yu. 2-4 players take on the roles as the time barons, shadowy figures who have shaped mankind’s destiny since the dawn of time. The world’s entire population are simply pawns in their quest to defeat the other barons and also become the ruler of a unified human race. War, religion, technology – all will be used in this ultimate battle.

Time barons can decide the best way to exploit their loyal followers and make the most of the many powerful cards they are dealt.

A variety of tactics are available to players at every turn. For example placing the bubonic plague on their opponent’s robotics lab to slowly kill off the workers. Another can attach a computer network to a medieval church to automate the conversion of new followers. In this brutal struggle, many will die. Good planning, quick thinking, and a little luck will carry the day!

Time Barons is slated to release this fall. The game will retail for $24.99!
