HYBRID BOARDGAME

"The Hybrid© game box includes 13 figurines, 1 Hybrid© rule book, 110 cards, 9 playing boards and 2 dice. Take part in a blood-filled battle in the corridors of gloomy laboratories!HYBRID is the newest game in the RACKHAM range of products and a pre-release presentation was made at the World of Games exposition in Paris. Though the action does happen in the world of Aarklash, the game’s principles differ greatly from those of Confrontation and Rag’Narok: a game of Hybrid is played on richly decorated, chequered and adaptable game tiles.It’s up to you to carry out the ten dangerous missions described in the basic rulebook or to invent your own laboratories! The playing mechanisms are also new: Hybrid is played with 10-sided dice. Each fighter’s capacities are graded in four different characteristics to which many special Aptitudes are added, such as the ability to radiate battle auras or to become stronger with every enemy fighter killed. The Capacity tables describe the martial and acrobatic feats your warriors can carry out during the decisive moments of a battle!The starter box includes two factions: the Griffins of Akkylannie, represented by the Templars of Hod, and the unholy creatures of the Alchemists of Dirz. These miniatures are supplied with reference cards that also let them be used to play Confrontation and Rag’Narok. This compatibility is reciprocal: in the long run most items for Confrontation and Rag’Narok will be able to be used to play Hybrid. The Templars of Hod include the Venerable Ambrosius, a wise man gifted with mysterious powers, as well as three Purifiers and their Seneschal, formidable warriors trained for special operations.Facing these fighters of Light is the Heresiarch’s spawn: no less than four Pests of Flesh prowl the corridors in search of victims. Three Hybrid represent the prototype of the ultimate warrior as imagined by Dirz himself a long time ago. Alchemical perfection has a name and a terrifying face: the Aberration. Nothing seems to be able to stop this living nightmare, which has the strength of a war machine and the speed of an unpredictable storm…And last but not least, note that fans of customisation haven’t been forgotten: the Purifiers’ and the Hybrid’s arms are interchangeable and allow several different models to be made using the same basis.
