About the game
Four Horsemen is an epic cooperative resource-management and deck-building game where players take up the mantle of legendary heroes to prevent the end of the world. Players will face off against a main demonic foe, and they'll need to utilize their followers to stop catastrophic events, acquire relics, and delay the final ride of the Four Horsemen. Will your strategy keep the world intact long enough to seal away the demonic entity forever? Each asymmetrical hero has their own divine powers and starting deck. Upgrade your deck by acquiring powerful relic cards each turn. Play strategically and choose carefully which relics to play and which to sacrifice to optimize your ability to respond to new events, destroy the demonic horde attempting to overrun the world, and delay the horsemen on their ride to bring about total destruction. With a large variety of heroes, villains, and events, Four Horsemen has thousands of unique scenarios, meaning no two apocalypses are the same. —description from the designer
