About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to dive into the depths of the Crucible with *KeyForge Adventures: Rise of the Keyraken*, a cooperative expansion that brings a fresh breath of air to your KeyForge decks! The renowned Society of Logic and Reason, a prestigious Logos organization, has lost contact with one of its undersea observatories. To investigate this troubling situation, they've recruited a group of Archons to board the SLRS Vortexilon. And things are serious: the observatory has been devastated by a legendary creature from ancient mythology, with a mysterious Aquan cult behind it all!
This new release from Fantasy Flight Games introduces cooperative play to the KeyForge universe, offering two free-to-play adventures that expand upon the themes and mechanics already familiar from the *Dark Tidings* set. Each adventure presents a unique challenge, requiring you to use your KeyForge decks in entirely new ways to devise winning strategies. With multiple difficulty levels, replayability is guaranteed. Whether you're a lone wolf or prefer to face the dangers with up to two friends, these missions will lead you into epic confrontations against sea monsters and cunning cultists in the depths of the Crucible's oceans.
