Description
Every 23 years since time unknown, giants have risen from the lands beyond, marching towards the village to feed. Your grandmother fought and defeated these monsters while she was alive; the duty had fallen to her upon the death of her grandmother, and so forth back as far as legend records. Your grandmother is gone, so you now must take up her sword and bow as a living shadow. Can you continue the story and protect the village from a catastrophic end?
Wraith & The Giants is a solitaire game of epic battles against elemental giants. Progress through four unique boss fights at three different wraith ages. Chain your card combos to scar and defeat the giants.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is Tag Team. This is a dueling game, but it's a deck programmer as well.
- So, this is five, Bethany's number four. Yes, this is a legacy game um based on Flash Point.
- And this is one of I you can you can speak to this as well, but this is probably this the only legacy game that I would ever go back to just because of how it's set up.
- My number four is a Valkyrie, a Black Orchestra game.
- Whereas Valkyrie gives you that same emotion, that same challenge level, but in a half an hour, 45-minute package.
- This is Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, a trick-taking game.
- Uh, think something like The Crew, I guess, would be the most similar, most relatable kind of game.
- And uh, it's I just really enjoy being able to see all these little Easter eggs and little plot points from the books popping up throughout these card games.
- I love The Crew and this is way better than The Crew.
- My number two is Potions of Azmaré and this is an order for fulfillment game where there's just a bunch of people coming into your village and so you're building all these um you're making all these potions, but there's all also these kind of like um kind of tech trees, but not really that you're trying to build up so you can do better things, more things and you kind of have to go up on everything to do well on everything.
- All right, my number two is a game called Flip Tunes.
- I saw this game and I just hated the artwork. I didn't like that classic old school like Disney cartoon style artwork or Cuphead. And they had that vintage cartoon and I just don't I don't know. It doesn't appeal to me. It's a big turn-off. And this whole game it uses that artwork.
- But, I do love deck-building games and I will try any deck-building game I can get my hands on.
- Um and it's just kind of a race to get to to 30 fame and then you have one final round after that as well.
- This is Luthier. Luthier is from Peterson Games and it is basically a big old Euro where you are a luthier who is either making instruments, repairing instruments, or doing performances with certain kinds of musical genres, musical instruments as well.
- It's absolutely stunning art. It's a huge table hog.
- This right here is a giant pipe organ dice tower.
- So even if you take all the cool stuff away, this is one of those perfect games where you can see a unique and interesting theme that you haven't seen before implemented so well into the gameplay.
- Man, Lutiear so good visually, gameplay, every bit of it is awesome.
- Number one game of 2025 Lutiear.

Quotes (from this video)
- The bosses are also quite varied in their activations and they have multiple forms and different ways to defeat them.
- You can stun lock the bosses and do kind of silly things.
- components and the storage solution. It's just really nice miniatures, nice components, and they all go in the box extremely well.
- simple stamina card system that gives you cool card combos and gives your characters different attacks to try out.
- emergent storyline, crazy events that can happen, upgrades and penalties, and the amazing enemy activation system
- incredible modularity. You’ve got the different bosses, each with their own unique deck and mechanics.
