Based on the hit Mistborn novel series by Brandon Sanderson, Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game takes players into the world of Scadrial! From designer John D Clair, players get to control iconic characters from the series and "burn" metals to unlock Allomantic powers in fast-paced battles. Mistborn is a standalone deck-building game in which you "purchase" cards as you play to build and improve your deck. "Burn" metals to activate cards. Each metal has its own strengths: damaging opponents, earning mission points, and manipulating allies. There are multiple ways to win! Defeat your opponents in furious allomantic battles or complete a series of perilous missions before your enemies do. Play head-to-head against your friends, or take on the The Lord Ruler in solo or co-op play! -description from the publisher
