Guardians (1995)

About Guardians

This CCG plays more like a board game than a card game. Each player starts with a Guardian, a very powerful creature with special abilities. In front of the Guardian you place a set of 3 stronghold cards. These are locations that give you bonuses. In front of these are 3 empty spaces that terrain cards will be placed. These will match up to the other players 3 empty spaces thus creating the board. Onto your stronghold you can place creatures under a shield to keep them hidden…
