What this is
Slay the Spire: The Board Game adapts the video game's run-based structure into a cooperative card game. Each hero begins with a modest deck, then fights enemies, chooses a route through branching acts, and adds cards, relics, and potions that can transform how the deck works. Surviving requires the group to coordinate attacks and defence while building combinations strong enough for the escalating bosses ahead.
