Our Take
Boss Fighters QR is a cooperative card battler with a twist: a free companion app scans your cards and fires back each boss's tactics in real time. You build hero decks, learn every boss's tricks, and grab loot to grow stronger across a campaign. It picked up a 2026 Kennerspiel des Jahres nomination for good reason.

Team up, scan your cards, and topple ten clever bosses
Ten bosses stand between your party and victory, and every one of them fights back with its own tactics, strengths, and nasty surprises.
This is a cooperative card game paired with a free Scan and Play app. You choose a hero deck and a class such as Warrior, Mage, Rogue, or Druid, then play cards the app instantly recognizes, and the boss responds to your choices on the spot.
Beat a boss and you crack open hidden loot boxes, upgrading your deck and unlocking new powers as you work through the campaign. Four difficulty levels let you set the challenge for a brand new group or a hardened one.
Built for 2 to 4 players across about 40 to 60 minutes, it is made for groups who love pulling together against a common enemy and solving a puzzle as a team.
The app sits at the center of how this one plays, so it is best for tables that do not mind a phone or tablet in the mix.
