The full set was due 15 September. It is not ready, so we are taking 4 weeks more — new target: Tuesday 13 October 2026.
Each card that opens has been read against its printed text first, phrase by phrase — that is what takes the time.

| Action | Action | A one-time effect. Play it, resolve its text, then it goes to your discard pile. |

Keywords & Abilities

|---|---|---|
| Rush | Célérité | This character can challenge the same turn it's played (ignores "fresh" restriction for challenges only — still can't quest). |
| Evasive | Insaisissable | Only characters with Evasive can challenge this character. Makes it very hard to remove via combat. |
| Bodyguard | Garde du corps | This character enters play exerted. Opponents MUST challenge this character before any others (unless using Evasive). |
| Shift | Alter | Play this card on top of a character with the same name for a reduced ink cost. The shifted character keeps its exerted/ready state and damage. |
| Ward | Hors d'atteinte | Opponents can't choose this character except to challenge. |
| Challenger +X | Offensif +X | When this character challenges, it gets +X Strength for that combat. Does NOT apply when being challenged (defensive). |
| Resist +X | Résistance +X | Whenever this character takes damage, reduce that damage by X (minimum 0). |
| Reckless | Téméraire | This character MUST challenge if able. Cannot quest while there are valid challenge targets. (Downside keyword.) |
| Support | Soutien | When this character quests, you may add its Strength to another character's Strength this turn. |
| Singer X | Chanteur X | This character can exert to sing a Song with cost X or less for free (instead of paying its ink cost). |
| Sing Together | Chanter ensemble | Another character can join in singing this song. Both characters exert, but only one needs to meet the cost requirement. |

Beginner Tips
- Always ink a card every turn — the more ink you have, the stronger cards you can play.
- Don't quest with weak characters if the opponent has ready challengers — they'll be banished easily.
- Characters with Evasive are great questers — they're very hard to remove.
- Use Bodyguard characters to protect your important questers.
- Shift lets you upgrade a character at a discount — try to set up Shift combos for big power swings.
- Right-click (or long-press) any card to see it full-size.
