About the game
Honor's End is a cooperative deck-building game with an optional narrative campaign set in a mysterious medieval world. In Adventure Mode, face three randomly selected enemies of increasing difficulty for a standalone experience. In Story Mode, follow a narrative campaign across nine chapters and unlock new heroes, enemies, and equipment - usable in both Adventure and Story modes. Your company of knights must band together to overcome escalating threats. Each turn is a strategic puzzle, as players wield a variety of multi-use cards and use them to strike at foes or fend off dishonor—brought on by danger dice rolled each round by your enemies. Share abilities, discard cards to boost allies, and collaborate on a plan to face each challenge. In between turns, lend your support to the Temple or the Monarchy and earn new cards to fill your deck with powerful combos. Defeat all three enemy champions to claim victory—or watch your honor slip away. —description from the publisher
