About the game
As the epic battle continues, the demonic horde of the Nethervoid has begun to pour forth into the mortal realm, causing the divine light of Shangri-La to dim under the corrupting presence of this ancient evil unleashed upon our world. As all hope fades and life turns to dust, you embark on a final quest to the very underbelly of the Dark Carnival to seek out the one who’s forbidden power could be either the key to turning the tide…or your own utter demise! Designed by Jumpsteady and Louis Simpson, with art created by the legendary Tom Wood, this highly anticipated expansion for Into the Echoside, the deckbuilding game, includes 120 devastating new cards! Along with new Dark Carnival, Psychopathic, Underground, Item, Fiend, Epic, and Flavor cards, there will also be the inclusion of the all-new Tarot and Gambit cards! As if that weren’t enough, this expansion will also come with a rule book, 2 custom 12-sided dice, and 4 numbered wheels to help you keep track of your Karma.
