From
the dawn of time we came, moving silently down through the centuries.
Living many secret lives, struggling to reach the
time of the Gathering, when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you..
...until Now.
Welcome to the incredible world of the immortals, the world of Highlander! Based on
the immensely popular motion pictures and television series, of the same name, Highlander:
The Card Game 2nd edition is a collectible trading card game of swashbuckling swordplay and dark intrigue.
The
first Highlander movie was released in 1986, and became a cult classic. The movie starred
Christopher Lambert as the hero, Connor MacLeod; Sean Connery played his friend and mentor Ramirez; and Clancy Brown assumed
the role of The Kurgan , Connor's most deadly enemy. Three sequels were produced, and a television
series starring Adrian Paul as Connor's dashing cousin, Duncan MacLeod. This year will see the Fourth
Sequel to the Series, the first of a Trilogy.
In Highlander: The Card Game 2nd edition, players assume
the roles of Immortals like Connor, Ramirez, The Kurgan , and Duncan . These Immortals are mysterious wanderers who can only
die if their heads are severed from their bodies. Immortals spend eternity honing their sword-fighting skills, trying to reach
the time of The Gathering, when they will battle to the last. To the victor goes The Prize, an enigmatic goal of legendary
proportions that no one really understands. It is simply known among them that he who wields its power will command the destiny
of the entire world. Quite a prize indeed.
To attain this goal some Immortals will stop at nothing, while others follow a stricter code of
honor and decency in their quest. In the end, for better or worse...
There can be only one.
