Description

Terror and plague reign in the great kingdoms of the East. You are a ruler of one of the great City-States and you must war against the other kings to secure resources and ensure the survival of your kingdom.

Woe is a drafting card game for 2-5 players where your goal is to gather resources and deprive your opponents in order to become the strongest kingdom. The first player to accumulate 5 of two of the resource types wins.

Players draft a hand a 5 cards and then play the hand, attempting to get singles, pairs, triples, etc. Resource cards in-hand will typically gain you 1 resource per card. Warrior and Priest cards allow you to manipulate the resources and cards of other players.

Once a hand is complete then a new hand is dealt, drafted and played. This happens until one player has 5 of two different resources.
