Ivion: The Noose & The Goose

From BoardGameGeek:

Ivion combines the intensity of a fighting game with the strategy of deck-building card games to create an experience unlike any other. In Ivion, your deck IS your character, and you build it from a variety of classes and specializations. Each character type has numerous cards from which to choose, along with wildly different playstyles. Mix and match them to create your own, unique character! THE EXECUTIONER delivers heads for the Baron. By decree, the townsfolk gather to watch his handiwork. The condemned, however, has broken free. And it's laughing at him. He whets his axe; it will start shrieking soon enough. THE POACHER only follows the laws he can read. As he puts it, can't none get the rule outta him to save the king, mind. Not so. He just live by his code, skin the deer and sell the pelts for shoes, snacks, and trap stuff. Now that's make sense, traps... Couldn't even say how many he hid all about the Kingswood. Might as well be the Trapswood even. This new headsman tho got weird. Couldn't as fun to escape from as the last one. Too stiff to fluster. Nothing a log to the face won't do in though. -description from the publisher
