Description from the publisher: In the game of Eschaton, players seek to lead the most favored cult in the final days before Armageddon. As the world crumbles, the Dark One will favor only a single unholy mass to be his Chosen in the vastness of eternity following the cataclysm. All others will be obliterated by his depraved will. Through bloodshed on the field of battle, divination of the unholiest arcana, and initiation of powerful cultists, you will build your cult and earn your rightful place. Eschaton is a strategy game driven by a deck-building mechanic. All players begin with the same basic cult (deck) and an equal presence on the realm map. As the game progresses, each player utilizes the evil Influence of their existing Cultist cards to initiate new Cultists into their deck as they seek to earn the most Points of Favor from the Dark One. These Cultists carry different specialties: some are masters at arms, others strong wielders of arcane magics, and others provide even greater Influence to recruit stronger members.
Eschaton has 4 videos from 4 creators: 1 review, 1 playthrough and 2 unboxings. They date from 2022 to July 2025.
For an opinion before you buy, start with "Eschaton Review | Deck-building For The Dark One" by Board Game Rundown. To see it played, watch "Eschaton Gameplay" by Die Rollin'.
If you like it, try Nexus Infernum, also by Diha, or Ascension: Deckbuilding Game, Lacrimosa and Tyrants of the Underdark: Board Game, which share several of its mechanics.
