Roguebook is a captivating roguelike deckbuilder that plunges you into the mystical world of Faeria, where every page of the legendary Roguebook brings a new challenge and adventure. Developed in partnership with Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering™, Roguebook combines strategic card battles with the ever-changing landscape of a magical book gone rogue. Trapped in this enchanted tome, you must lead your chosen heroes through perilous encounters, craft powerful card synergies, and uncover hidden secrets to escape.
Game Overview
In Roguebook, the ancients speak of a mystical Book, written since time immemorial, that contains all the world’s legends. After the events of Faeria – Chronicles of Gagana, this sacred artifact was lost in a well of Faeria, where it absorbed magical energy and gained a wicked free will, transforming into the Roguebook. Now, you are trapped within its pages, where every turn of the page presents new dangers and challenges.
