About the game
What you do in a play session
In Thunderstone Advance: Numenera, you build your party of heroes, enhancing your deck of cards to face these bearers of evil. This game can be a standalone adventure or a fantastic addition to other Thunderstone sets, expanding your possibilities. A new feature here is the "Doomladen" mechanism, which causes varied monster groups to unite against you, making each encounter more challenging. New Setting cards transport you directly into the rich and peculiar world of Monte Cook's Numenera RPG. It's an electrifying mix of deck-building, hand management, and tactical combat, with a dash of science fiction and fantasy. If you enjoy games that make you think and plan every move, while building a powerful deck to defeat increasingly dangerous enemies, Numenera will hook you from start to finish. The game offers an immersive experience, with strategic decisions at every turn, whether it's recruiting new heroes, acquiring equipment, or facing the lurking dangers.
