Upgrade your Tome collection with 3 new Elements. Includes 6 Basic Charm spells, 6 Basic Berserk spells, and 6 Special Silver Spells. Tome is a twist on the classic trick-taking formula. It's simple enough to pick up for a new player, but has a deep layer of strategy that will keep veterans coming back again and again. An Element as pure and true as moonlight, glistening with the power to repel the wicked beast that stalked us in the dark. A metal that can hold back the night, and the terrors that come with it. When all seems lost, let it be your final bullet. Silver games tend to be lightning fast, a great way to play a speed round! —description from the publisher

The listed playing time for Tome: The Silver Codex is 25–45 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.
