Why Burning Hope

Hope is a flame.

It burns when you are feeling it. And it goes out when you lose it.

But someone else’s hope can re‑ignite your own.

Our first game

Pick a hero. Build a deck. Fight your way to Death.

Win new cards and trinkets as you go. No two runs are the same.

Four heroes. Four ways to play.

Death, hooded, with a scythe, looming behind them.
