You are and evil Necromancer, searching the mouldering crypts and dusty tombs for decomposed cadavers, unholy spirits and demonic fiends to arise and do your infernal bidding. But you're not alone in this dark and forgotten place; a rival of equal evil awaits...
Necromancy: the Exhumation is a micro-card-game reminiscent of Magic: the Gathering but simpler in scale and scope.
The game is played by 2-players using a shared 20-card draw deck. Each card serves one of two purposes: as a creature or as a spell. On each turn players draw a card and take up to two separate actions: drawing or playing cards as creatures or spells. Each card has different attributes and effects and these are used to "attack" the other player and reduce their health points to zero.
