The origins of Spectrum: Advent of Dragons

Spectrum: Advent of Dragons began as an homage to a game originally titled Onslaught created for family and friends by my brother Brock around 2013. Many card ideas specified for Onslaught were later converted for the Spectrum game. The first ideas for Spectrum came about in a moment of free time at our kitchen table in 2017. The ideas were typed into an Excel spreadsheet and then abandoned. It wasn't until I eventually transferred the information on the spreadsheet into some basic card templates on Paint that the game really started to develop. From here, real playtesting became possible and yielded exciting results. Card ideas were created, reimagined, sometimes discarded, and even returned into the game each time we playtested until we arrived at the version of the game upon which we agreed. What we now present is the seven-year project of two best friends, one with a fountain of never-ending ideas and the other with a love and knack for design, that we hope will provide hours of enjoyment for everyone. Thank you for reading!
