About the game
The first 6-card expansion for Galdor's Grip explores the outer edges of the Guardian's mind. Using the clever deck construction feature in Galdor's Grip, players can (randomly) mix and match any number of non-essential cards from the Core Set with cards from an expansion to create new card and deck and interactions! This expansion offers new scoring objectives and ways to manipulate the order of the deck. Galdor's Grip is a solo fantasy card game played completely in your hands. As you move through the deck, you’ll need to carefully manipulate the order and orientation of the cards to gain more knowledge of your surroundings and avoid hazards until Galdor is in position to neutralize Feragot. The base game is needed to play this expansion.
