What is ‘Minion Melee?’
A brawl is brewing in the depths of Verdonis,
and it’s up to you to choose your side!
Verdonis is a land of mythical monsters and larger-than-life heroes, who’s epic clashes fuel countless storybooks and folk songs sung throughout taverns the nation over. Everyone knows of the Tyrannical Red Dragon Thubain who terrorizes the Northern kingdoms, or the dreaded Lich King who marches forth with his army of the undead… however, no songs are sung of the kobolds who have been made to serve the dragon for naught but the scraps it leaves behind, or the insect-like Chythids who were forced to bend their knee or retreat underground when their home was taken. Seen as fodder by the heroes who face them and disposable by the monsters who control them, many of these ‘lesser’ creatures have resigned to their fate to be nothing but minions to a greater power. Despite this, some especially brave (or foolish) individuals have set their sights to something loftier, whether that be the freedom of their species or that sweet, sweet pile of gold that Thubain sleeps on- thus have they banded together, combining their strengths to face their gargantuan foes… though of course, their adversaries will not so easily give up their thrones! Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
‘Minion Melee’ is an asymmetrical 2-5 player card game where up to 4 players take the roles of a ragtag group of minions with unique abilities and quirks, while 1 other plays as the supremely powerful ‘Monster’ that they must work together to face. Unlike many competitive card games, rounds within ‘Minion Mayhem’ consist of a single, shared turn, with the order of actions being decided based on a card’s given speed- however, even this can be changed with the utilization of reaction cards, which turn the game into an ever-changing push and pull between the two sides! Cards available to the player can range from attacks, spells, defensive abilities and anything in between, with each character having their own unique decks and traits that dramatically alter their playstyle. Victory is not won until one side can no longer fight, so use careful planning and card management to overcome your foes!
