KeyForge: Grim Reminders (2024)

About this game

Grim Reminders, the seventh set for KeyForge, adds a new batch of cards and mechanisms to the game line, but more importantly, Grim Reminders introduces the game's eleventh house, Geistoid. Each Geistoid minion is a fusion of discarded refuse that's animated by psychic energy of Æmber and driven to wreak vengeance on a neglectful universe. Every scrap of detritus cast aside by the living is a potential new minion to swell their ranks. In game terms, cards will be returning from the discard pile — and more cards than normal will likely end up there thanks to "scrap" effects and "discard" costs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 3.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
