About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine a world where water almost completely vanished seventy years ago, leaving Earth as a brutal wasteland. This is the setting of The Few and Cursed, based on the Brazilian comic series by Felipe Cagno and Fabiano Neves. In this post-apocalyptic reality, water isn't just for survival—it's the most precious currency on the planet. But thirst isn't the only threat; evil has triumphed, and dark arts, curses, and sinister folk magic now rule what remains of humanity. Amidst this chaos, the 'Curse Chasers' emerge—warriors willing to battle the supernatural to restore balance to the land.

In the game, you step into the boots of one of these Curse Chasers. Your goal? Build your reputation (or infamy, if that's your thing) by exploring the desert of the Pacific Ocean. The gameplay revolves around area movement and deck building, where you improvise and acquire new cards to enhance your abilities while facing deadly threats. You'll need to complete jobs, hunt bounties, and search for supernatural artifacts to survive and thrive.

The game blends a Western vibe with horror and sci-fi, creating a dense and perilous atmosphere. The experience focuses on adventure and progression, where every card choice and every move on the map can determine whether you become a legend or just another body forgotten in the sands. With hand management and card-based conflict resolution, the game challenges players to constantly adapt their strategies to deal with the desert's unpredictable events. If you enjoy RPGs, asymmetric gameplay, and worlds where danger lurks around every corner, this title delivers a visceral and epic journey.
