In the spirit of Magic the Gathering, you’ll earn more than more boosters when you win a match; clues are truly what you seek!

Will you become the champion of justice, unmasking the killer and claiming victory? Or will you succumb to the shadows, forever trapped in the web of Karlov Manor’s deadly secrets?

The stakes are high, the mystery awaits, and the fate of Gnome Games hangs in the balance.
