Mistborn - The Deckbuilding Game

Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game is a card-driven strategy game set in Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn universe, where players use Allomantic powers, recruit allies, and build decks to achieve their goals.

Players acquire cards to strengthen their deck, allowing them to generate resources, trigger abilities, and influence the board. A key part of the game is managing your deck efficiently while adapting to the changing state of play.

One of the standout features is that the game supports both competitive and cooperative modes. In competitive play, players race to outscore each other, while in cooperative mode, players work together against the game system, creating a more narrative and team-focused experience.
