Read the full game description

Enter Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn world as an Allomancer learning to command metals. Acquire new allies, actions, and powers from a changing market, then burn metals for dependable effects or flare them for stronger bursts that strain your reserves. Competitive games can be won through missions or by defeating rivals; solo and cooperative modes instead unite the crew against the Lord Ruler. Multiple characters and interlocking card combinations make the deck-building arc feel different with each approach to rebellion.
