Description

Eschaton is a strategy game driven by a deck-building mechanic. All players begin with the same basic cult (deck) and an equal presence on the realm map. As the game progresses, each player utilizes the evil Influence of their existing Cultist cards to initiate new Cultists into their deck as they seek to earn the most Points of Favor from the Dark One. These Cultists carry different specialties: some are masters at arms, others strong wielders of arcane magics, and others provide even greater Influence to recruit stronger members.

Each player’s deck will perform differently depending on the path of initiation that player chooses throughout the game. Your most powerful Cultists will create dynamic game play and give you a knife-sharp edge against your opponents. The less powerful? That’s what that sacrificial pyre is for . . . .
