In Overlords in Training you take on the roles of aspirant Overlords. Attack other players via the Fighters you've acquired, hunt the Giants Deep for Crystaline to boost your options, protect your basses from destruction, and prepare to duel against the Boss himself, Mike!

Overlords in Training uses 1 of 4 playmats to represent your trainee. On your turn you can utilize the cards to battle your opponents, dig for crystalline to power your character, draw up to three cards, or reserve your action to fight the boss later.
