Description

On the Edge is a unique card game that sets itself apart from others in the genre. Published in 1994, it was one of the first to follow in the footsteps of Magic, but with a distinct twist. The game is easy to learn, making it accessible to a wide range of players, from 2 to 5. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, it's perfect for a quick gaming session. In On the Edge, players strategically lay out their characters in a grid, using them to attack, defend, and generate Pull points. These points are crucial for bringing cards into play and generating influence, which is the key to winning. With a variety of card types, including Whammy, Gear, and Environmental cards, the game offers a lot of depth and replayability. The quirky art style on the cards adds to the game's charm, making it a must-try for fans of card games and collectible components.
