Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game (EN)

Step into the shadow-filled, ash-laden realm of Scadrial, where you embody a Mistborn or Allomancer of formidable power. In this deck-building game, you start with a modest deck and gradually upgrade it by purchasing new cards from the market. Each turn, you may “burn” metal tokens to activate powerful effects: direct attacks, stealth missions, deck manipulation — multiple paths to victory.

Victory can come in three distinct ways: complete a series of dangerous missions, defeat all other players, or in solo/co-op mode, confront The Lord Ruler.

With its blend of strategic decision-making, escalating metal-burning powers and rich thematic integration, it delivers an immersive experience even for those new to the genre.

You’ll likely enjoy Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game if you’re into deck-building mechanics, competitive or cooperative play, deep fantasy themes, or want a game that offers both tactical depth and thematic richness. If you prefer ultra-light games or minimal strategy, this one might lean towards the more challenging side.

Interesting Facts
