Reiner Knizia's: The Confrontation
Offworld Games shutting down
We're sad to say that Offworld Games is shutting down operations. The servers have been offline for a few months now (local games only) and as of last year the license has been rescinded as we prepared to close down.
There was a lot more that we hoped to achieve with Confrontation but we hope that at least it introduced some new players to an awesome title. Be sure to check out the physical version if you haven't tried it yet :)
Signing off,
Offworld Games
Holiday theme to be reverted this week

Variant Mode DLC has arrived!
The Variant Mode features 18 all new characters and 4 new special cards. The power level of both sides has equalized, with stronger Light characters and more tactical Shadow minions. As Light, your goal is to guide the crown (King) to the Stronghold. As Shadow, your goal remains largely unchanged, seek out and destroy the crown or lay siege to the Capital with three denizens of Shadow. Variant mode introduces another way for Shadow to win: guide the Doombringer to the Capital!
The new characters introduce an entirely different game, requiring new strategies to be discovered in order to overcome your opponent. Will you destroy evil in its stronghold or bring doom upon the world with Shadow?
