Hey everyone, we've just pushed out a new update!

[h3]Highlights[/h3]

• Rules updates

Make sure to update your game on Steam for those changes to come into effect. You should see 1.4.1 in-game once you have the update.

• Guard: Fighters on Guard can no longer be driven back
  
• Initial roll off: The roll off at the start of the game allows the winner to choose who places their board first
  
• Lethal hexes: Hexes that will damage whoever moves into them, either through push, knockback, movement etc. Placeable during board placement.

• Surge: There is a Surge Limit of no more than 6 Surge Objectives per deck (“Score Immediately” Objectives)
