A deck-building game that allows you to play as one of eight different shadow casters who can cast a variety of different spells against fellow players. Game features role-playing elements and the concept of levelling up too.
Each player begins by choosing the shadowcaster they wish to play as, which each comes with its own choice of cards and decks to use, along with certain special abilities. Players also choose a shadow card which gives them further abilities that stat with them throughout the game.
Players then take turns in playing the cards (spells, creatures or forms of energy) in their hands that they can or adding new cards to their hands. The game gets deeply strategic in that players can also level up giving them access to more powerful abilities and additional shadow cards. The risk being that a player remains vulnerable for an entire round to do so.
The objective of the game is to be the last shadowcaster on the board. The game can be played individually with others or in teams.
