In the upcoming JRPG Astria Ascending, you could take a break from the main story with J-Ster, the in-universe strategic board game.

You will be invited to duels as you meet new people and as you progress in the game. Be careful with the rules given by the NPCs, you could lose your precious tokens on an unfortunate defeat!

But the glory and the tokens will be yours if you win! Be strategic, steal your opponent’s tokens and become the best J-Ster player.
