Pixel Demon's Realm (2019)

About this game

Pixel Demon's Realm is a competitive, fast-paced, free-for-all, strategy card game, where players summon and take control of demons from a fantastic dark realm. Players must assemble a hand of ritual cards featuring diabolically themed suits and ranks, which correspond with the symbols on the many desirable demons. Players can 'bind' demons, by playing cards that match each of the demon's symbols. Binding certain numbers and types of demons, (or binding them in specific ways,) allows players to work towards their unique hidden win condition: a Pact, based on one of the seven deadly sins. Each demon introduces a unique curse effect that adds an element of chaos and a new challenge to be overcome. You must fulfill your Pact before being consumed by these curses! The game offers scaling complexity with different opt-in cards and modes, including a variant for solo-play. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
