Prepare for a solitary and tense vigil in 'The Last Lighthouse'! In this one-player card game, you take on the role of the last guardian of a lighthouse, the only thing holding back encroaching nightmares. Your mission is to keep the light burning and survive all the cards in the Nightmare deck until dawn. Each Nightmare card is not just a growing threat but also a special trap you can deploy to defend yourself. Hand management is crucial, as each card has multiple uses: they can be traps, resources, or even unique abilities to deal with the approaching threats. You'll need to position your defenses wisely, eliminating nightmares before they damage your lighthouse and ultimately destroy it. With elegant rules and varying difficulty levels, the game offers an engaging challenge for those who like to test their skills against themselves. It's an intense and atmospheric experience, perfect for those moments when you want a quick game that still demands strategy and attention to detail. Can you keep the darkness at bay and the lighthouse shining?
