About the game

What you do in a play session

If you're already a fan of the Dresden Files universe and play the cooperative card game from Evil Hat, get your deck ready because this character packet is a serious collector's item! We aren't talking about a full standalone game here, but rather a character expansion supplement that brings the faithful and clever Mouse to your gaming table. And since we know in Dresden's world things are never straightforward, the pack also includes a dash of Mister to add some extra flavor to your gameplay.

But wait, there's more! For those who love varying their strategy and want to avoid repetitive sessions, the kit includes variant cards for Harry's own deck as well as for Susan's deck. This means you can 'refresh' the main characters, shifting the dynamics of how they operate during supernatural investigations. It's exactly the kind of content that adds layers of depth and replayability for players who have mastered the core rules and want to test new limits.

Just a heads-up: this is an item that originated from a Kickstarter campaign and was made available exclusively through the Evil Hat webstore. In other words, it's niche content, tailor-made for those looking to expand the narrative and mechanical experience of the base game. If you're seeking new challenges and want to see how Mouse fits into the chaos of Chicago, this card packet is your mandatory next step. It's pure fun for anyone who loves the crossover between literary narrative and card strategy!
