Genesis: Battle of Champions
is a unique Trading Card Game that uses a grid
for movement. You play cards by placing them on the 5x6 grid. Every
champion, which is a representation of you in the game, has a specific
Awareness, which is a set of cells, usually to the front of the
champion, that can be affected by the champion. Some spells have
further reach. At the beginning of a round, all champions draw a card,
and then champions take turns to move, and then cast spells, beckon
summons, and execute techniques (martial arts.) If you want to know
more about the rules and the game's components click on

If you want to know more about the 12 champions, click on
"Champions"
above. Here you will read about the personalities,
playing styles, and strength and weaknesses of each. All champions can
cast spells, beckon summons, and execute martial techniques, but each
are more efficient or less efficient in these three areas, as well as
having their own unique abilities. Currently,
there are twelve champions. More will become available as new sets are
published, such as Origins planned for July 2022.

I've written
a few articles on how I try to win. Note that there quite a few people
who play the game better than I do. Genesis: Battle of Champions is
more about what is happening in the area than the cards you have in
your hand. Yes, this is a TCG and, as in all TCGs, deck building is
very important, but the cards you have in your hand have less of an
impact on the outcome of the game than how you move and how you
sequence your attacks.

some great YouTube content creators. Also, be sure to check out the
