Into the Vortex is a co-operative spellcasting card game. You play as witches called Alhamis. The world of Zinan is plagued by Chaos Vortexes that threaten to consume the land. You and your friends are the only people who can avert this catastrophe. The aim of Into The Vortex is to cast a series of spells before three Blood Moons become active. You do this by drawing from anywhere in a deck of cards called the Vortex. As long as you draw ingredient cards, it's smooth sailing. However, the Vortex will not go down without a fight. It will try to scatter your ingredients and hex you. Remember: If an Alhami suffers 3 Hexes simultaneously, they're dragged into the vortex! There are a variety of special items and allies that you can rely on, too. Such as Mimic Mercury and the Black Cats. These make it easier for you to cast spells and enable deeper co-operation. The magic that every Alhami relies on is their intuition. Tap into it. Allow it to guide your hand towards drawing the right ingredients and avoid the hexes. And whatever you do... beware the Blood Moon! -description from the designer
