A deck-builder with no victory points to chase: thirteen Dark Pacts each define a completely different winning condition, and the moment you fulfil one the game simply ends.
Who it's for
Deck-building fans who are tired of counting victory points and want each game to be a race toward a different goal.
Not for you if…
You like long build-ups with a satisfying final scoring round, or sudden win conditions feel abrupt to you.
Vibe's take
Sharp and puzzly – you are building a very specific shape rather than a big engine, and watching a rival close in on their pact creates real urgency.
