About the game
What you do in a play session
KeyForge: Dark Tidings is the fifth series in the KeyForge line, bringing new elements that promise to spice up the duels between two players. In this edition, the Dis house is replaced by the Unfathomable, specialized in controlling opponents by exhausting their creatures and making it harder to collect Æmber. The tide card mechanic adds an extra layer of strategy, where players can manipulate the tide state to enhance their effects or hinder their adversary. Additionally, the introduction of 'evil twin decks' brings an exciting twist: these decks are exact copies of real decks but feature creatures with evil variants, boasting new abilities and dark designs. The goal remains the same: collect Æmber and forge three keys before your opponent, in a race filled with strategies, twists, and 'Take That!' moments.
