Paper Tales
Draft a fantasy kingdom whose heroes age and die a little more every turn.
Who it's for
Players who want meaningful engine and combat choices in a game that finishes in half an hour, and anyone who likes drafting with a clock ticking on their cards.
Not for you if…
You want a sprawling epic or dislike attacking your neighbours. Getting stuck with weak drafts early can feel punishing before you find your footing.
Vibe's take
Tight, punchy decisions where your best cards are always ticking toward the grave and timing beats brute force.

About this game
A fantasy card-drafting game where your kingdom's heroes grow old and die. Each round you draft units into four building slots, fight your neighbours, construct buildings, and rack up legend points. But every unit ages a step per turn, so your best card is always on borrowed time.
