About the game
Veilward is the expansion to The Isofarian Guard. Experience the epic storytelling and strategic gameplay that made The Isofarian Guard unforgettable. A cast of new characters, new lands, and fresh mechanics are waiting to be discovered. Venture beyond Isofar's borders and explore the mystery of the Veil, all brought to life through immersive audio narration by Forteller. Veilward utilizes bag building mechanics seen in the base game while introducing a new deck-building system alongside a unique grid-based card mechanic where you'll strategically shift cards in battle to trigger powerful effects. In Veilward, you'll explore more of Telios as the Guards explore not only Isofar, but into the country of Falmund. Veilward also introduces a new way to play called 'Cinematic Mode'. This mode focuses on story progression while limiting grinding and streamlines character advancement. -description from publisher
