From publisher blurb:
Only the Strong Survive the Wilds of the Iron Kingdoms
No place for the weak, the wilds are fundamentally dangerous environments where life springs from death and the latent arcane powers of the land are harnessed to fuel primal magic. In Iron Kingdoms Unleashed: Wild Adventure, brave heroes must face the ceaseless perils found in the entamed expanses of western Immoren. And with these new races, careers, eruipment options, and earth-shaking rituals, you just might make it out alive.
This supplement for the Iron Kingdoms Unleashed Roleplaying Game includes:
Four playable races new to Unleashed: Bogrin, Croak, Gobber, and Ogrun
New careers, abilities, and equipment
New encounters you can integrate into your ongoing exploits or use as a starting point for an all-new adventure

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Card Drafting — You share a deck of cards.
- Engine Building — You build the powerful synergies.
- Player Elimination — The idea is that you then tear them apart.
- Set Collection — Cards won't last forever, and only the ones you fully used up score points.
