On March 15th, The History Channel and TriKing Games unleash the collectible card game, Anachronism. This action-filled, lightening fast, history-themed strategic card game will be available directly through retail and specialty stores, as well as at the official online store of The History Channel, www.ShopHistoryChannel.com/Anachronism.
The Greatest Game in History
Combining the best aspects of collectible miniatures and trading card games, Anachronism challenges players to test their strategy and tactics in a fast-paced, collectible game that takes less than 5 minutes to play. Using their unique skills, armaments and inspirations, players pit historic warriors against one another in arena combat. Roll of the dice combine with strategy and tactics to determine the warrior’s fate, as do their individual characteristics (ability, life, speed, experience, and special abilities). Each premium, collectible card is printed on extra thick card stock and showcases illustrations by some of the best artists in the industry. The cards include all the tactical information you’ll need to hit hard, fast and enough times to reduce your enemy to submission. Who is the greatest warrior of all? Play Anachronism and find out.
