Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender should bend their attention toward a new board game that’s available for purchase. Aang’s Destiny from The Op Games is a cooperative deck-building title that sees up to four players (ages 10 and up) battling through the events of Aang’s story, as seen in the acclaimed Nickelodeon animated series. It costs $49.99, and is available now through Amazon.

One of the more fascinating aspects of Aang’s Destiny is the trove of unlockable content included with the game. The first box of cards introduces players to the mechanics and characters, and offers up scenarios that serve as an approachable on-ramp. Once players win one box, they’ll unlock the next that’s full of new challenges that aim to increase the complexity of the game. A total of seven boxes are included, and if you’ve seen the show, you know it’s going to get wild near the end of Aang’s adventure.
