The Battle Bosses deluxe box comes with everything you need to play Arena mode including a double sided board with bases, spawn points, and neutral monster spawns with the wave 1 neurtal monster collection for 2v2 or 3v3 MOBA-inspired team play. But hat doesn’t mean you cant play Arena mode with everything you have included with 4 individual boss boxes!

Arena Mode Basic can be set up with any 4 bosses uses the back and front side of the tiles.

Below is a set of photo’s to help guide the recommend set up. Using the double sided feature of each land tile, you are able to lay them out in a way that shows the different zones needed to create the Fog-Of-War effect, Boss spawning area, and bases in Arena mode.

Battle Bosses Battle Royale allows players to take advantage of the modular aspects of the Battle Boss game system in an all out battle until only 1 boss remains! 3 players, 4 players, 5 players or more. Mix and match land tiles from different bosses to create a ton of different board configurations.
Here are a few options for 3 player Battle Royale layouts that create some fun dynamics like the triangle shapes Triforce Battle Royal, with 7 tile long line of sights for ranged fights and maximum mobility, or try the multiple Void zones and corners to hide from opposing bosses, in the Snow Flake Battle Royale map.

The Battle Bosses Terrain pack adds 16 double sided terrain tiles each with special abilities! These allow for some awesome customization features, allowing players to create their own game modes! The example below is of a 4 player map in what we call the “Thunder-Dome” formation which is taking advantage of the Terrain Tiles in a Battle Royale format! This modifies different spaces, giving power ups or negative effects to bosses that stand in them and forcing bosses in the center space to battle it out for powerful upgrades!

The Terrain Pack also allows to create randomized maps, spawn points for bosses and monsters for custom Arena mode setups. The Terrain Pack is available now in the Kess Shop!
