📖 About This Game
The Wanderer is an interactive strategy card game for up to 6 players that puts you in direct competition with the forces of the universe!
Play as an emissary of a higher power representing timeless forces like Fortune, Insight, and War. Using a meld-making core mechanic, craft Intrigues (3-card runs or sets) out of Maiden, Magician, or Horseman Intrigue cards, and activate them to reduce your opponents’ score to 0.
The fun ramps up as you discover how different emissaries work together, and use them to work out your favorite Intrigue strategy. Are you a healer, a charmer, a warrior or something else? Along the way, you’ll use the emissaries at your command to test your opponent’s psychic ability, control the Wanderer, and keep weighing your options in a game that gives serious vibes!
