I feel like this will be forever the best game I've played with a regular deck of cards. Probably even better with the art too!

Challenging and fun card game. Cool card design! Also, cards can easily be used for other card games. Great solo, but also awesome as a cooperative game. :)

Hands down one of my favorite solo games! Such a clever use of a standard deck of cards and it's a brilliantly tough challenge to fight through the castle. It was so good that after trying it online I actually sprung for the custom Regicide deck that they sell with the sweet sweet "Sketchgoblin" artwork, even though you can play it with any old deck of cards. Seriously, don't pass on this game!

A searingly cerebral, difficult, strategic, co-op game... played with a standard deck of cards. The level of involvement, tactics, tension, and thrills that emerge from the rules of the game are truly something special. I increasingly appreciate games that accomplish a lot with very little; top this with ease of access & co-op, which makes it far easier to involve non-gamers with & you have an actual immortal classic.
