About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a fan of The Binding of Isaac: Four Souls and crave more chaos and fun, this Kickstarter-exclusive expansion is for you! It packs 68 brand-new cards, injecting the base game with more monsters to defeat, loot to collect, treasures to uncover, and even new characters to try out. Get ready for insane combos and twists that will have you betraying your friends (or being betrayed!).

With this expansion, replayability skyrockets. Each game becomes a fresh adventure in this bizarre and dark world, where dice rolls and hand management determine who can gather the four souls first. Player interaction is guaranteed, with plenty of negotiation, bribery, and that classic 'take that' mechanic we love (or hate, depending on which side you're on).

This expansion truly broadens the game's universe, adding more depth and strategic options. If you're an Isaac fan looking to supercharge your game sessions, this is an essential addition. Just remember, as a Kickstarter expansion, it might be a bit trickier to find, but it's worth the hunt for those seeking the complete experience!
