RWBY: Combat Ready is an exciting cooperative game for 2-4 players; with adapted rules for 5 players . It captures the flavor and excitement of the animated web series RWBY from Rooster Teeth; with fast-paced battles; where all players are actively involved and engaged at the same time.

Players play as one of the four main heroines in the series: Ruby; Weiss; Blake; or Yang. Each of them have their own separate deck of cards; representing their attacks; actions; and moves. Each character plays a little differently; using their own unique tactics and strategies. Players record their key stats on their Scrolls (player tracking boards); including their Aura (health); Experience; Battle Fury; and their Semblance (unique special ability).

Before each game; players choose a scenario to play from the scenario book. Each scenario will have them fighting one or more battles. Battles are against a particular Villain; with a particular set of rules and may include one or more objectives. No two battles are ever the same!
