Get ready for a solo adventure in Crystallo, a card game that blends abstract strategy with a puzzle-like feel and a light fantasy theme. Your mission is to explore the lair of an evil dragon by wisely placing cards to free six magical creatures. To do this, you'll need to form crystal sets, a task that demands attention and planning. If luck and strategy are on your side, you might even get the chance to trap the fearsome Black Dragon in its own den and collect treasures along the way. Who knows, you might emerge as a wealthy and victorious champion?
