About this game

The World of Cards is a dark fantasy tactical card and board game in which players lead powerful heroes and their factions into strategic battles for control, survival and dominance. Each player controls one hero with a unique deck, special abilities and a distinct playstyle. During the game, players manage cards in hand, build their tactical options, use character powers, resolve combat with dice and react to changing threats on the board. The goal of the game is to defeat opposing heroes and outmaneuver other players through careful planning, card management, positioning and timing. Each faction offers different strengths, weaknesses and tactical paths to victory.
