Battle Beasts

Many Beast Keepers enter their warrior pets into the arena, but only one may be the Prime Beast Keeper.
— Extract from the Battle Beasts Rulebook

Created by Monster Cabin Studios, Battle Beasts is a trading card game played on a vertical hexagonal grid with dice and tokens. Each player is known as a Beast Keeper. At the beginning of each game, players have 2 decks of cards; the Pack and the Inventory, collectively known as the Den. The Pack is a deck of Beast Cards, the Inventory is a deck of Item and Spell cards. Each player also begins the game with 10 hit points. To win and to be crowned the Alpha of the match, the players must reduce their opponents' hit points to 0 or below.

Gameplay

Building the Den

A large part of Battle Beasts is what happens out of battles. Before Beast Keepers are to compete, they must first collect the cards and tokens to build their Den. Beast Keepers may either purchase new cards or trade with other Beast Keepers. Monster Cabin Studios has published the Battle Beasts Rulebook where Rookie Beast Keepers can learn how to build a Den and Battle in the Arena.

Technology

Holotables

Traditionally, the Cards, Tokens and the board are physical objects made of paper, plastic, wood or metal. However, many arcades across Eco One provide special tables which project holographic images of the Battles. Upon each card is a patterned code, which the table reads and projects a 3D animated image of the Beast, Item and Spell. The Holotables are the most popular form to play Battle Beasts, as it is also how the Battle Beast League displays their Battles, but in a grander scale.
