Looking for games with direct combat, tactical positioning, and varied characters. Basically “fighting game: the board game.”
Already own: Unmatched (love it), Gloomhaven (more dungeon crawl than arena). What else is out there in the arena/skirmish space?
**Mechs vs. Minions** is more PvE but the tactical combat is excellent. **BattleCON** is the closest thing to a fighting game on a table.
**Summoner Wars 2nd Edition** is exactly what you're describing. Grid-based tactical combat with asymmetric factions. Brilliant at 2p.
If you want something lighter, **Dice Throne** is a blast. It's Yahtzee meets fighting games and it's way better than it has any right to be.
