## Description
Get ready for a battle of wits and betrayal! In Nevermore, you aren't just playing cards; you're trying to survive a feast of crows and malice. The goal is simple, but the execution is pure chaos: you need to build the perfect hand of cards to dominate the elements, but there's a catch: you can't keep everything you receive. The game uses a multi-stage drafting system where you pass cards to your neighbor, trying to balance what you need with what you want your opponent to end up with. It's classic 'take that' taken to the extreme!

Throughout the rounds, you'll attempt to collect sets of cards to gain powers like attack, healing, or magic. Whoever holds the most cards of a specific type in a round gains control of that power, but the strength of that action depends on how close the second-place player came to you. It's a high-tension math game where every card counts. And if you're too careless and lose all your health, don't worry: you aren't eliminated! You transform into a raven. As a raven, you stay in the game, but you lose the ability to win, acting as an agent of chaos trying to prevent other humans from reaching glory. To win, you must be the last human standing or the first to reach 6 victory points. It's a fast-paced game, perfect for multiple playthroughs, where the strategy of 'poisoning' your opponent's hand with useless cards is just as vital as your own path to victory.
