In this game, players use their decks to fight off waves of monsters sieging their castes. It is a lane-based card game where monsters assault the castle from the frontline, and lesser forces of monsters pillage the players' decks, forcing them to discard, from the backline of defense. In the cooperative mode or solo mode, the player(s) lose(s) the game once the castle is destroyed, or they run out of cards in their deck. They win by destroying the portal from which the monsters are emerging, and the boss that is leading the horde. There is also a competitive mode where one player controls the horde and the other players have to defend the castle against that player.

This game is for one to three players, ages 14 and up, and plays in 30 minutes. The MSRP for this game will be $49.99. Skytear's miniatures game was distributed in the U.S. by Asmodee (see "Six Companies Send Products into Distribution with Asmodee USA"); 'Skytear Horde' is not.
