Battlelords is an out-of-print collectible card game based on the Optimus Design Systems (ODS) licensed paper and pencil role-playing game titled Battlelords of the 23rd Century . [1] The card game was released in 1995 and only one set was produced. Two planned expansion sets called Genesis and Arachnids never materialized. [2] The card game was introduced by New Millennium Entertainment (now defunct). According to Allen Varney, the game was "really good" and "as good as Star Wars , thought not quite as pretty". [3] Varney also stated that the game had a "steep learning curve, plays badly from a single starter, and the rulebook's print is ludicrously small." [3] The Battlelords of the 23rd Century license was later sold by ODS to SSDC, Inc. in September 1999.
