Description

The players are all adventurers out being heroic and doing good and blah blah blah whatever. Stuff happens.

Will you earn everlasting glory and bragging rights? Or will you get taken out by a troll while trying to save some puppies?

Welcome to a game where anything can happen. Jealous Griffins, Rabid Mimes, Venomous Penguins. Yep. It's all here. There's even an Evil, Rotten, Stinking Cloud of Joy (every game should have one).

The object is simple: Earn enough Glory for an instant win, or lose too much Health and die. If everyone else dies, last player left in the game wins.

Each game is short, so you play 6 games. The person who wins the most is the Big Winner, and will probably brag, strut, and generally be a jerk about it.


This version of the game also includes the Character expansion. Players each get a Race card and a Class card. You might be an Orc Cleric, a Gnome Mime, or a Centaur Sorceress of Sorcerous Intent.

Each Race and Class has a special ability. And since you change your Race and Class each game, these abilities are constantly shifting.


GAME CONTENTS:

  • 84 card Game Deck
  • 6 Health & Glory cards
  • 9 Race cards
  • 9 Class cards
  • Rules
  • Box

GAME PLAY:

On your turn, you will play a card and then draw a card. It's that simple.

But then the chaos builds.

Ongoing and Special cards change the rules of the game. Monsters attack. Weapons defend. Instant cards can change your fortune in a second.

Earn Glory for yourself, knock down your opponents’ Health, and watch out for the dreaded Fuchsia Dragon!


WHAT IS ART-FREE GAMES?

We believe that artwork is great, and makes a game pretty. But ultimately whether you love a game or hate it will be based on how fun it is to play.

Games are about sitting down with friends and family--and possibly that neighbor who always smells faintly like cheese--and having fun.

And so Art-Free Games was born. Our goal is to make enjoyable games that prove you don't need art to have fun.

In the end, it's all about the game.
