About the game

What is Spire's End: Hildegard?

Hildegard is a stand-alone card game adventure set in the world of Spire’s End. Over the years, I've grown fond of Hildegard -- a main character from the first game. This is her story. After the dark descent into the Spire, I felt like a change of pace was in order. With Hildegard, I can do that. I've left behind the cold and the dark for something warm and vibrant. The game has almost no set-up, intuitive rules, and minimal components. No DM, bookkeeping, or character sheets. What you will have is a stack of over 400 beautifully designed and illustrated cards with some custom dice! Like the previous game in the Spire's End series, the story unfolds one card at a time. You will be presented with numerous-narrative driven choices, enemies, and items that move the story along. —description from the designer
