You are a sorcerer commanding dark legions. Fools try to thwart you at every turn! Those do-gooders, rivals, and busybodies interfere with your wicked plans, but someday they'll see, oh yes . . . Necromancer is a fast-paced card game of raising legions of undead. Overwhelm your enemies with an unstoppable army or sacrifice a circle of underlings to seize the Well of Eternal Life and declare victory. Your only obstacle? The pitiable cretins who think themselves your equal! Other necromancers! -description from the publisher
