Beast Battle — Shan Hai Jing Print-and-Play Card Game (24 Beasts)

24 legendary beasts. One deck. Fifteen minutes. Beast Battle turns the creatures of the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) into a fast, punchy print-and-play card game: draft a team of five, call your stat — ATK, DEF or SPD — play the element wheel, and fire each beast's once-per-game special move drawn from its own legend.

Real mythology, real game. Every beast is a genuine figure of Chinese myth — Pangu who split heaven from earth, Jingwei the little bird filling the sea one pebble at a time, Taotie the endless feast — and every stat grows out of its story. Playable in about 15 minutes, ages 8+, and balanced by simulation: no card wins everything, the fastest beast is a very determined small bird.

Print & play: print at 100% scale on card stock, cut along the guides, and you're dueling in minutes. Personal use license — classroom use expressly allowed, so teachers can run a full class tournament from one deck.
