About the game
Fantasy Realms is an acclaimed card game from designer Bruce Glassco that takes seconds to learn: Draw a card from the deck or discard area, discard a card, and try to build the strongest hand by using the best card combos. Fantasy Realms: The Cursed Hoard expands on the original, adding two new modular expansions that can be added together or separately: Cursed Items: Adds a new deck of item cards. Players each take one item that they can use whenever they wish to create a powerful effect, like taking double turns, hiding discarded cards, or even skipping your discard phase to keep an extra card! But whenever you use a Cursed Item, it turns into negative points at the end of the game—the more powerful the effect, the more points you lose! Three New Suits: Adds three new suits to the deck. Develop your realms with Buildings, attract powerful mythical Outsiders, and raise the Undead. Includes 47 cards.
