What’s on a Card?

There are two types of cards in Zizerax: Fighter cards and Hero Cards.

Hero Cards

At the start of the game all players pick a Hero Card. These cards give you a little flavor about who you’re playing as and what you’re fighting for, and they also give you and your army a unique bonus effect. Here’s the makeup of a Hero Card.
