In Behind, you take on one of five secret factions—vampires, ghosts, werewolves, templars, or sisters—and battle for dominance. The game combines card play with movable hero tokens that perform attacks and special moves. This mix of deck construction, hand management, and area movement offers a unique tactical experience in a dark fantasy-horror setting.
