What to Expect
You play as one of four Lich siblings, collecting sets of minion cards and triggering chain reactions with double-sided cards and dark spells. Games run about 45 minutes and focus on interactive combo-building, timing of card effects and point-scoring on realm objectives. The pace is quick and encourages repeated play to explore synergies.
Who Is This Game For?
Suitable for families with older children and hobby gamers (minimum age 8). With 2–4 players and a 45-minute playtime it sits between a family and light gamer title: accessible to new players but offering tactical choices for regular groups.
How It Works
Core gameplay centers on Set Collection: gather minions to meet realm requirements and score points. Double-sided cards are flipped to summon minions and activate abilities, while spells and effects chain into combos. The game ends when a player reaches the condition related to waking the sleeping Lich King, so timing and combo management are key.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Ross Cowman and Taylor Dow with art by Taylor Dow; the game emphasizes double-sided cards and combo-driven interactions. It is linked to a Kickstarter family and has digital implementations on Screentop.gg, highlighting its cross-platform presence.
