Tribulation is a scenario-driven cooperative tactical card game with a dark, biblically-inspired fantasy setting for 1-2 players. You play as an agent of the Lord holding the forces of evil at bay at the end of the world to give humanity one last chance.
In Tribulation you succeed if you vanquish the forces of evil before they defeat you and your teammate. In a solo game, you control two agents of the Lord. If both are destroyed before you can vanquish your foes, you lose. The primary mechanism of Tribulation is tactical combat via card play and action management. You move your character through 3 zones, play cards from your hand to resolve actions, and rest to regain action points, cards and health at strategic intervals. Tribulation can be played as a one-off battle game or a progressive campaign-style game with an advancing narrative and character progression between battles.
