How it feels

You explore a whimsical boardgame world, making strategic card and movement choices in turn-based battles while unraveling a meta-narrative.

What players say

Players praise the papercraft aesthetic and the blend of roguelike deckbuilding with hex-based tactics, but many find the campaign too short and the game grindy. Reviews are split on the difficulty and class balance: some say the mage is easiest while the princess is hardest, and others complain that the encounters are too scripted and the card pool offers few real synergies.
