Who it's for

Solo players and pairs who want an RPG-shaped campaign in card form and enjoy tuning a deck between chapters.

Not for you if…

You want a self-contained box – the campaign structure and deckbuilding depth both pull hard toward expansions.

Vibe's take

Tense and deeply personal – the chaos bag can undo a perfect plan, and the campaign remembers every compromise you made to stay alive.
