Q: Does this game come with everything needed for two players?
A: Yes, the Battle Academy includes everything two players need to play.
Q: What will be the difference in this battle academy vs. the other Battle Academys?
A: Different decks primarily, though the components are higher quality as well. For example, the hp tokens are made of a thicker, board game style cardboard. The decks are also slightly more viable in action than previous boxes in my opinion, though this is definitely a 'beginners' product and not designed for competitive play.
A: My 7 year old loves it as it has clear instructions on how to play the game. Really good for new players.
A: They come in a box. Theres 3 boxes within this set, each is a pre-made deck. I assume the cards are all the same from one set to the next.
