🃏 Fantasy Card Game
Two rivals. One crown. Recruit your companions, seize powerful artifacts, and complete quests before your opponent claims the throne. The first to 5 Victory Points wins.
Call of the Cards is a head-to-head competitive card game. Both players share a central Quest board whoever completes quests fastest and manages their gold wisest will claim 5 Victory Points and win.
On your turn, you spend Gold Cards from your hand to recruit Companions or acquire Artifacts. Spent Gold is discarded - draw carefully and spend wisely. Draw 1 at the start of each turn (2 with Amulet of Renewal).
Three Quests are always available in the centre. When you have enough combined Power from your Companions (plus Ring/Healer bonuses), you can complete a Quest to earn Victory Points.
Permanent Artifacts stay in play and give ongoing advantages. v1.2: Shadow Thief now forces a discard - there is real interaction.
Be the first player to accumulate 5 Victory Points by completing Quests. Assassin's Bounty is now 2 VP - mid-game quests matter.
Four card types make up the game each plays a distinct role in your path to the crown.
