About the game
What you do in a play session
The plot is grim: a mysterious tower suddenly appears in the heart of a bustling Viking city, and the townsfolk have vanished! Your mission is to mount a rescue and unravel this mystery at all costs. The game plays like a book, but instead of pages, you flip ominous cards. With each card, a difficult choice and the story progresses. You have seven adventurers (or seven chances, if you prefer) to face the countless dangers of the spire. Combat is the main focus: to attack or perform any action, your characters spend hit points. It's a constant risk, where stronger attacks cost more hit points, creating very tense and brutal battles. Higher risk yields greater rewards, but at a higher cost. So, choose your actions carefully! The adventure is divided into six chapters, each with a major encounter, loot, choices, dice events, and a lot of surprises.
