📖 About This Game
Restless Spirits is an easy-to-learn tactical card game where you play as a Spirit Guide, and you're helping Lost Spirits find their way home. Combining elements of set collection, tactical card drafting, ability combos, and push your luck, it's a race against your opponent(s) to free the spirits.
There are 30 unique Light and Dark Spirits to encounter, with a different set of 3 Totem requirements listed at the bottom of each card. Every turn, you must decide where best to use your 2 Action Points: attracting Spirits to your board, buying Totem cards from a marketplace, and playing them to tick off a Spirit's requirements one by one.
You'll also be using powerful Spirit abilities to gain an advantage over your opponent - Light Spirit abilities will help you win even faster, whilst Dark Spirit abilities will slow down your opponents instead! But Spirit abilities can only be used once-per-game, so tactical timing is important to get the most out of them!
If you can meet all 3 of a Spirit's Totem requirements, it will be released into the Spirit Realm, becoming one of the cards you need to win the game! The first player to released the required number of Spirits (changes with player count), wins!
