Description
O.P. Arena is a battle royale of absurd proportions, where over 80 unique characters clash in a fight to the death. With easy-to-learn rules, 2 to 6 players can jump into the action, which typically lasts 30 to 45 minutes. Designed by Robert Burke and Nate Bivins, this 2019 game is all about destroying each other and earning victory points. The goal is simple: kill a character, and you get 3 points. Be the one who dealt the most damage when they died, and you get 2 points. Even coming in second in terms of damage gets you 1 point. The key to success lies in managing your hand effectively, rolling the right dice, and using the "take that" mechanics to disrupt your opponents. Don't get too attached to your characters, though - they will die, and quickly. But that's all part of the fun. You'll get new ones to carry on the fight, and you can earn tokens to nerf your opponents' abilities or shields to protect your own. Each player starts with just 3 re-roll cubes, so use them wisely. The arena is unpredictable, with characters triggering on low and high numbers, making for some crazy combos. It's not all about brute strength, either - sometimes, a single point of damage can be the winning blow. With thousands of possible match-ups, from Unhappy Cthulhu vs. Helpless Bunny to Rabid War Bear vs. Animated Chicken Bone, every game is a hilarious surprise. When you play O.P. Arena, get ready for ridiculous fun and chaining combos you've never seen before. The game's unique blend of science fiction, humor, and fighting mechanics makes for an unforgettable experience. As players fight until one reaches 30+ victory points, alliances will form and break, and strategies will emerge. With its lighthearted tone and fast-paced gameplay, O.P. Arena is the perfect game for anyone looking for a fun, action-packed experience with friends. So gather your friends, choose your characters, and get ready to enter the O.P. Arena - it's going to be a wild ride.
