From the Kickstarter page for Shadowrift:
Haven Town is facing total annihilation at the hands (and teeth) of a horde of monsters from beyond the Shadowrift.
You the heroes must band together to drive them back. To do this, you will need powerful spells, skills, attacks and loot. When the game begins, you are a basic hero; you can explore and fight. Lucky for you, this is a deckbuilding game! You can buy new cards to add to your deck - cards which will define you as an adventurer and complement the strengths of your fellow heroes.
Unlike other deckbuilders, there is constant interaction with your fellow players, as you figure out who will gain which benefit from the limited supply of townsfolk, offer your coin to help construct walls, and seek healing from anyone who's learned such magic.
Shadowrift also features monsters that do not merely sit in play waiting to be slain - If you leave them alone they will rip Haven Town asunder. They'll kill people, break walls, and kick you heroes in the face. Combat with them is intuitive (though frequently painful).
For defeating a monster, heroes gain Heroism, a simple, consistent boost to their power that makes them better at anything they undertake. Since the monsters won't stop coming until the last Shadowrift is sealed or the town has been built into a mighty fortress, you'll need every boost you can take.
As you will see in the video (coming soon), the prototype is bare-bones and focused on mechanics alone. However, the art we are acquiring is amazing and the finished product will be visually stunning. With your help we will be able to manufacture the game in the United States, promoting local industry.
I went to college with the creator, and he was author of adventure 8 for War of the Burning Sky. He actually came by on Christmas last year to hang out with me when everyone else in Atlanta was snowbound. We played his game, and it's pretty fun, like a cross between Dominion, D&D, and a zombie survival game.
Please take a look, and decide if you can help my friend out. I'll post updates as he expands his Kickstarter page with videos and other information. Thanks folks.
