The game will include a playing board, four player mats, over 300 game cards, 72 terrain tiles, four wooden playing pieces, 44 wooden cubes, 18 custom dice, and a variety of counters and tokens.The game is for two to four players, ages 14 and up, with a playing time of about 30 minutes per player. MSRP has not yet been announced. A Defiant Expansion is also planned.
