Description

Get ready to dive into the world of Onward, the latest game from designers Giacomo Neri and Riccardo Neri, published in 2025. This game is perfect for 2 to 4 players who are familiar with board games, as the rules are of normal complexity, making it easy to learn and start playing right away. Onward is all about competitive teamplay, where players are split into two teams, each controlling two or more champions with unique abilities. The ultimate goal is to destroy the enemy nexus, a portal in the enemy base, while defending your own. The game takes place on a map with two or three lanes, corridors that connect the two nexuses, populated with towers and minions from both teams. Towers are defense structures that prevent enemy champions and minions from rushing into the nexus, while minions are weak units that grow in strength as they increase in number. They're always trying to advance toward the enemy nexus, attacking any enemy in their way. But that's not all - there are also jungles, dangerous areas between lanes where champions can venture to defeat monsters and gain gold to buy powerful items. And if you're feeling brave, you can even send your champions to fight the colossal outsider in the central river area, but be warned, it's a risky move that can either pay off big time or end in disaster. A game of Onward can last anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the map and the teams' strategies. With its unique blend of action points, area majority, and multi-use cards, this game offers a thrilling experience for fans of competitive games and fighting categories. The multiple maps and various game mechanics ensure that each game is different, keeping you on your toes and challenging you to come up with new strategies to outmaneuver your opponents. So gather your friends, choose your champions, and get ready to move onward to victory.
