Publication history

It was first released in July 1995.[1] It featured art from Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell but suffered from bad cropping.[2]: 12 [1] A total of 450 cards were released in the core set[1] and an additional 10 promo cards were also released.[3] Starter decks were said to contain 55 cards, but only contained 50 and booster packs had 15 cards.[4] An expansion called Gatemasters was scheduled for a 1996 release but never materialized.[1]

Reception

According to Allen Varney of The Duelist the game was said to be "utterly dull".[5]
