📖 About This Game

Goblin Rush is a two player, take-that battle card game that introduces a refreshing take on the classic 21 format. Draw cards from a shared supply and use Infantry or Leader goblins to take control of the battlefield and assert your tactical dominance. The game consist of 15 unique goblin units, each with their own power value and distinct game-altering effect. The aim is to control a force totalling 21 or more power before your opponent. Meet this condition and you win immediately, this however is easier said than don Each goblin has a special effect that can used to bolster your force, hamper your opponent, or otherwise alter the game in unexpected ways. Infantry Goblins can be discarded from your hand to immediately grant strategic bonuses or weaken your enemy, while Leader Goblins are played onto the battlefield to give ongoing effects and often game-winning advantages. As the name implies; Goblin Rush is indeed “a rush”, with most games lasting between 5-10 minutes including setup and some being over in as little as two. Aggression is the name of the game as these goblins know not the meaning of restraint and defensive play will only be met with an insane gaze and possibly an axe in the back! You have been warned. —description from the publisher
