About the game
Ribbons of silver light weave their way through the Veil. Fleeting souls soaring through the ethereal fabric of what has been left behind. Fewer in number with each passing moment. A colourless, shadowy realm engulfs the senses. As the silver ribbons fade into the impossible distance, terrible loneliness pervades in this twilight of emptiness. Then, from nowhere, a voice. Indivisible from reality: melodic, languid, and utterly compelling: “He has gone too far,” The Lady whispers. After what seems like aeons, the realisation dawns. She is talking to you. Veilwraith is a fantasy card game with deck building elements for 1 player which is set after the end of the world. However, up to 4 players can play if each player has a separate copy of the game. —description from the designer
