About Draft of Darkness

Recruit survivors with their own decks and equip the weapon types their cards require. Combine cards from different weapon types to build combos. Turn-based fights use ammunition, while exploration requires managing radiation, infection and party condition.

Choose a survivor and starting deck, then explore generated city maps such as the Residence, Streets and Lair. Infected creatures, government robots and other survivors threaten the party, while trading supplies better cards and equipment.

What makes it worth a look?

  • Winning battles raises darkness and makes the map more dangerous, but enduring it can bring greater rewards.
  • Every run, including a failed one, earns credits for booster packs that unlock new starting cards.
  • Story decisions alter outcomes and open different ways to progress across attempts; some choices have serious consequences.

Is this game right for you or your group?

  • Consider the cost of a fight. New rewards compete with ammunition pressure, party condition and the danger added by each victory.
