About the game
What you do in a play session
Mini Rogue: Folk Lore Cards is the expansion that brings a set of lore cards written by the community during the Kickstarter campaign. Each card tells a myth or legend from a country that surpassed the 100 backer threshold, plus the two countries with the most backers that haven’t reached that limit yet. The goal is to enrich gameplay with stories ranging from “The Ankou” to “The Green Knight,” including “The Sleeping Rider” and “The Dragon Slayer.” These cards fit perfectly when you already own the Depth of Damnation expansion, The Council expansion, or the Sentinel and Crypt promo cards, as they add new encounters, choices, and rewards that align with the exploration and combat flow. To use the expansion, you need Depth of Damnation, and ideally Sentinel, Crypt, and/or The Council. Language dependency is moderate: the cards come in English, but if you want to play in Portuguese you’ll need a translated sheet or pre‑translated cards. In terms of mechanics, the game keeps dice rolling, push‑your‑luck, and solo modes, but now you have the chance to explore new legends and challenges that boost replayability and fun. If you love dungeon crawlers, fantasy narratives, and games that let you play solo or with friends, Mini Rogue: Folk Lore Cards is an addition that will delight and expand your adventure universe.
