Every quest begins as a card in this adventure, where a mysterious figure called the Dealer lays out encounters on a table. You choose which cards go into the deck, then move a token through the events, choices and dangers that turn up. When an encounter ends in a fight, the game switches to real-time combat.
The sequel adds companion characters who can fight beside you and offers 22 new challenges that test your deck-building. Single-player with full controller support, it suits players who like dark fantasy, replayable runs and a blend of tabletop-style decisions with action.
