Default Re: New Power Rangers Board Game

I thought I would post about their latest updates. They've revealed some info about all 3 expansions I'll include a link to each update however I'll include a special quote or 2 for each expansion.

First up is the first exclusive expansion the Green with Evil expansion

Boomerang Blade deals damage on its initial strike and as a FAST card will often resolve before the Rangers can react but that’s not the end of it! Unless the Rangers manage to defeat that card before the end of the battle, it will come back and deal damage AGAIN when the last enemy card in the combat sequence resolves.

Feinting Slash is another FAST card, Scorpina is very difficult to pin down in a fight and will use all manner of tricks to distract and confuse the Rangers, when she resolves a Feinting Slash it actually skips the Ranger’s next turn in the battle, allowing her to follow it up with even more devastating strikes. FAST cards already effectively reduce the number of cards the Rangers can play in a battle by 1, Scorpina’s Feinting attacks can reduce this even further

Next up is the 2nd and currently the last exclusive expansion which is the White Light expansion

His character ability is defensive in nature, Guardian Light allows him to reduce damage dealt to his allies once per Battle. His Flying Tiger attack allows him to lead by example, leaping into the fray and striking out, secure in the knowledge that his friends are behind him. This card allows him to perform an attack and immediately coordinate with an ally to follow up before the enemies know what hit ‘em. And let’s not forget his iconic talking sabre Saba, who can deal massive damage and unleash powerful energy blasts against the Ranger’s foes!

The Ranger Slayer is an older and seasoned combat veteran and being in the service of Lord Drakkon has honed her skills further. Her Thunder Kick (4 Health, FAST, 1 Ranger must discard a total of 4 shields worth of combat cards from their hand) is a devastating strike which knocks the wind right out of the unlucky Ranger to take the hit. Forcing them to discard valuable cards from their hand. Meanwhile the Suppressing Shot ability not only deals damage, but also cancels the Ranger’s turn in combat allowing her to immediately follow up with even more dangerous moves.
