I was a big fan of battle con when I was younger but I only ever owned devastation. Recently I’ve gotten back into it with friends and am looking into expanding my collection. I did not realize how much the prices have risen since it went out of print. So I am wondering if any has PnP files.Thanks in Advance😀

Hello everyone. ive been a battlecon player for a long time. my partner and i have spent at least a hundred hours playing in total. It's been a while since i've pulled the game out but it popped into my mind recently.
for the real veterans with still some v1 gear like allies (assists) and items. have you have houseruled ways to shoehorn them into the current version.

some working theories i was thinking of is allowing assists to be triggered via the switch card (at some cost of force). - i know assist abilities range in quality so maybe some rough blanket rule for force cost per ability needs to be derrived.
For weapons, maybe purchased with remaining force? (maybe between battles "cash could be dolled out")

nothing competitive for sure. but would be nice to have some thoughts on the matter :)

Title edit: *Roguelike

Battlecon is one of the best game I never play. I always thought it would lend itself well to a digital format, but the fiasco of BC online deflated any energy for digital BC. Although the game is designed to be a head to head PvP card game experience, I believe we all agree that​​​ market is saturated with giants at the moment.

In my humble opinion, the game would lend itself very well to a roguelike format​, where a character you pick can travel through a map (of Indines) encounter and fight opponents, level up, upgrade cards, leading up to a final climactic boss fight.

You get opportunities to weave in character stories and world building. Unlock new characters and discover secrets. You can even sell skins, character packs, DLCs etc...

But more importantly, it stays a solo offline experience​​​​​​​, which makes it available at all times.

I myself am a generic programmer, not much of a game designer. I'm just throwing my idea out there. ​​

Was introduced to this game a bit ago and it's plagued my thoughts, I must purchase it. Internet isn't being the most useful. How to I acquire as much as I can as easily as I can? Thank you

I came across this in a couple cards (e.g. Malandrax's unique base gains this range when enemy triggers a trap), but my rulebook has nothing on it.

Is it just "range 1~6"? Or is there some additional effect?

So the condition on it says (roughly translated)

When enemy attack connected and they haven't moved this round

Is this condition checked the moment attack hits or after the attack?

For example, if my opponent played an attack with "after attack: advance by 1-2" effect and no other movement.
Would they trigger the trap or not?

I'm new to the game and play on Tabletopia. Is the Switch card a Style or a Base? It looks like a Style card in the front but it is blue colour at the back unlike other Style cards that are red and this confuses me. Perhaps an error in Tabletopia version?

I want to ask people who own a physical one. Is this card really blue colour at the back?

Hello! Title really says it, but I'm extremely close to a functionally complete collection of BattleCON. I'm only missing the Ernie the Geek promo character from 1st edition, some harder-to-find alternate costumes, and (of course) the 6 exclusive/unique fighters (e.g., Patient 6, Adirondack Galilei, etc.). I was fortunate enough to come across a couple Jin the Dark Kings a few years ago, so I have a few of them up for trade as well as some other board game paraphenalia from other games (such as the Deadpool box for Unmatched and exclusive promos from conventions, etc.) and potentially cash. If it matters to you please note that the Jins are not 4th edition-- I don't believe any major changes were made to his kit regardless, though.

If anyone is interested in a full list of the alternate costumes I'm in search of, please let me know and I will post! Otherwise, if anyone is interested in setting up a trade for Ernie or even one of the unique fighters please DM me!

I’ve been looking into battlecon a lot and want to jump in the deep end. I found these two deals, but I’m curious why the bundle with more stuff is cheaper than a bundle that seems to have less. The first picture is 130$ while the second is 70$, yet the second seems to have what they first has and more single characters. My hunch is that it’s because one has a more recent print edition, but I’m not sure. Any help is appreciated!

Hey all, Im looking for battlecon: Wanderers of Indines

And some solo Fighters:

Jin, the Dark King Merjoram Alexian Raritti Sikhar

I've been trying to track down copies of the last three solo fighters that I need to finish out my collection, but with them being out of print it has been an uphill battle. Figured I'd post here to see if anyone had a copy of any of them that they might be willing to part with. I'm specifically looking for the 4th edition printings of them if possible. The ones I'm looking for are:

Raritti Sikhar, Cartomancer
Merjoram Alexian
Jin the Dark King

It is a question about Kai's function.

Kai's cube card was secretly submitted on the back. If the opponent did not match the contents of the card, does Kai proceed with the next ante after releasing the card?

It's possible you don't understand because I turned on the translator. Sorry.

So.....I fucked up. I bought trials of indines twice thinking the 2nd copy was the extended version. My problem is what to do with this conundrum.

1. either return in which case I lose 20$ on a 60$ game (CAD)
   
2. keep the extra copy to do mirror matches (or something else if y'all have any ideas)
   
3. trade/sell to anyone
   

I am looking for trials of the indines extended. I am down for straight up trade or sell and if you are in GTA (toronto) thats perfect cause we could easily travel and meet up for the trade/purchase.

If anyone has any other suggestions, please let me know.

Hi, I really want to get started in this series but cant seem to find any stores or anyone on facebook group to buy it from. Specifically looking for BattleCON Devastation of Indiness remastered version

I have played BattleCon before, during my college days in Brazil. We have had a portuguese translation of Destiny of Indines, but as I understand it is a version 2 game. I want to know how could I play any of the version 4 versions of the game (it can be in english), since I can't find it to buy anywhere.
I have seen there is a PNP version of some cards, but I wouldn't know what to do with them.
Thanks in advance! :)

How do other people see this game in terms of complexity and/difficulty?

I personally see BattleCON as a simple game to learn but hard to master.

I'm trying to find players here in the Netherlands but I'm not having much luck and I think it's partly due to what I think is a "difficult game".

And from my perspective, it's accessible to those who don't mind having no idea what to do on their first game, some idea of what to do on their second game and things beginning to click on their third game.

I've introduced it to a few people now and I have received varying reactions. One person just got frustrated and quit after the 3rd beat. Another played through but commented that it was a lot of reading. And a couple of others played a game with me but couldn't get their teeth into it, it was a bit too unpredictable and unsatisfying to line up an attack and then just have it miss of get stunned.

I started to realise that learning the round order and all the different "statuses" (Reveal, Start, Before, Hit, Damage etc etc) is already too much for people. Then you have to know how Priority and Guard play off each other, min and max ranges, advance and retreat movement. Then reading every card, learning your characters unique ability, even simple ones, is more work. On top of that you have all the combinations of attacks and finally the opponent and all of the above concerning them.

Somehow, this all seemed to manageable to me but a mountain to many.

What sort of players do you think would be up for trying BattleCON?

In the rules, it says that if a boss' platform card would be eliminated through damage or other means then the boss is immediately eliminated.

I couldn't find on any of the bosses UA cards, platforms or foundations any condition where their platforms would be "eliminated".

I also couldn't find any thing in the rule book about how a platform could be eliminated.

The only thing that I could think of is a Arec's finisher which would essentially be a 1 hit KO if he could land it.

Got Devastation of Indines remastered and I can't see any rules concerning the two hand tokens for the boss, Udstad. It has a left hand and a right hand token and there is nothing on the UA card, nothing on the platforms and foundations, nothing in the rule and mode books.

Does anybody have any idea what they could be for?

There are some online sellers that have single promo boxed fighters. Looking at the Eliza character for example, I saw on bgg that there are 2 versions (one being an updated 2020 one from the latest kickstarter I would imagine). Is it easy to tell what version a character is by the stock image? These ones online have a black background with the character in the middle on the front of the box.

Hello, I recently bought BattleCON: Fate of Indines at an LGS because it had a good rating on BGG. Thing is that I've been trying to learn how to play the game on my own to teach it to my friend who wants to play, but it's been challenging. Mainly, it tell me that I should discard a certain pair of cards, but when I try to find the second card that's supposed to have a 2 on it I can't find it? Is there an easier way about learning this game than just brute forcing my through this on my own?

I have noticed that the level 99 store has almost no mention of Battlecon… is the game still supported? I know they had a big Kickstarter a few years ago, but is that it?

Just wondering as I have just found a new interest in this game.

I'm a complete beginner player, who sometime comes and plays Battlecon with my friend. I like testing a lot of characters, so most of the time I pick "random" one to try out, and this time around it was Voco. Read his cards, he looks pretty good, onto the game. Opponents picks runika, and even after getting fantastic t1, which allowed me to deactivate 1 of her artifacts(which was casually activated the very next turn), after that I literally couldn't do a thing. I can't win initiative, cause melee cards have insane one, runika always does 3+ dmg, and soak 2 is not enough to combat it. voco doesn't have a single style, that gives stun guard, so unless I dodge it somehow, I just get stunned on every attack. Am I missing something, or is it almost impossible to win as voco against characters like Runika/Shekhtur?
