About the game
What you do in a play session
Deathmancer is a competitive dark fantasy card game where you build an action engine across two interconnected realms: the Living and the Dead. Each player commands a unique Commander with a deck of Living Heroes (scoring points) and Undead (boosting your multiplier and attacking foes). Death isn’t the end here: defeated units empower your Dead Realm army, and even your Commander resurrects as an undead with new abilities! Race to 100 points over six rounds, with terrain altering the battlefield and tough choices between scoring now or investing in the future. Includes a solo mode packed with scenarios for lone necromancers. Expect strategy, sabotage, and a dash of necrotic chaos!
