About the game

What is Galdor's Grip?

A demented telepath has invaded your mind with intentions of releasing an ancient evil you locked away in your psyche long ago. Visit your most potent reminiscences and utilize their abilities to reorient your mind to your advantage. Channel enough power from surrounding manifestations to permanently trap the intruder within an illusory prison while evading any mental threats capable of stopping you. Galdor's Grip is a solo fantasy card game played entirely in your hands. Cycle through the deck, utilizing player actions and card abilities to strategically manipulate the order and orientation of the cards. Complete scoring objectives to earn enough points (⭐) required to win the game, while avoiding any situations that result in a loss. —description from the designer
