Welcome to the Arena (MVP Playtest)

M.O.B.A.A is a competitive, turn-based virtual tabletop board game designed to capture the high-stakes tactical decision-making of digital MOBAs (League of Legends, DOTA 2, Brawl Stars) in a chess-like, strategic board game format.

This is a Pre-1.0 Minimum Viable Product (MVP) built in Godot 4.4. We are releasing this early build directly to the community to gather raw gameplay balance data, hero tuning feedback, and feature requests.
