The Caverns of Estor sit beneath what remains of an ancient city, long since overrun by dark forces. You have made your way to the nearby town of Estoria, drawn by rumours of riches and the promise of glory. Here you are approached by all manner of anxious citizens offering reward for quests undertaken. Their tales of horror and pleas for help haunt you as you ponder which quest to choose... Battlecards is a roguelike card game for 2-6 players set in a world of warriors and wizards. Gather your adventure party together and enter the caverns to fight monsters, grab treasure and gain prestige. Your objective as adventurers is to complete the quest, while each player strives in secret to fulfil their deity's wish. These two, sometimes opposing, goals shape the decisions you make as you play. Players use the battle deck system for fast-paced combat, gaining prestige to unlock access to spells, weapons and armour. With over 500 cards, no two games are the same. -description from the publisher
