Veilwrath
A Tabletop Gaming Magazine ‘Must-Play’
The hush settled across the land beneath the obsidian skies. There was a hissing from the trees as they recoiled from the broiling mists, branches curling up and twisting into ash, then blowing away on the breeze. As the stars faded in the sky the terrible silence was deafening.
Suddenly, a depthless chasm ripped the ground asunder as though giant hands had torn the earth apart. Buildings and entire streets buckled and felll into the abyss along with screaming hordes of bodies.
The plates of the earth shrieked and shifted, and as the giant mountains of land that had been thrown into the sky descended, a fathomless ash cloud filled the air.
And so the world ended…
Veilwrath is a fantasy card game set after the end of the world featuring deck building elements for 1 player.
Veilwrath is played over a series of games or ‘vignettes’ which together make up a campaign. In each vignette, the player, as the Veilwrath, must collect 5 keys and defeat all of that vignette’s foes, all whilst evading the watchful eye of the Archfiend. Once they have completed all of their objectives, the Veilwrath must race to reach the Portal in time to escape back beyond the Veil and win the game.
