Rifts: usually a bad thing, right? Avid Games begs to differ. Their highly anticipated follow-up to *Cards, the Universe and Everything*, *Eerie Worlds*, embraces the chaos of rifts with open arms. Get ready for fun, learning, and a whole lot of monsters.
Monsters pouring forth from rifts, to be precise. Avid Games has assembled a visually stunning and diverse roster of creatures, each inspired by real-world horrors from mythology and folklore.
Prepare to encounter a truly global bestiary. From Japanese Yokai like Jikininki and Kuchisake to Slavic monsters such as Vodyanoy and Psoglav, the range is breathtaking. Bigfoot, Mothman, the Nandi Bear, El Chupacabra—the list goes on and on, encompassing creatures both terrifying and intriguing from across the globe. Each card boasts an informative and meticulously researched description, ensuring an educational and engaging experience.
In *Eerie Worlds*, you'll navigate four Alliances (Grimbald, Zerrofel, Rivin, and Synnig) and numerous Hordes. This system allows monsters to share certain properties while differing in others, creating a surprisingly deep layer of tactical complexity.
Your growing collection of monsters is housed in your Grimoire, which you level up by merging duplicate cards. Start with 160 base cards, then expand your arsenal through strategic merging, with more cards on the horizon.
Avid Games has promised two more Hordes in the coming months, guaranteeing that *Eerie Worlds* will continue to challenge and surprise you, no matter your level of expertise.
Gameplay involves constructing a deck of nine monster cards and one world card, then deploying them across nine 30-second turns. Each turn demands strategic decisions concerning mana usage, synergy exploitation, and more. It's a complex but rewarding system.
Ready to dive into the rift? *Eerie Worlds* is available now for free on the Google Play Store and the App Store. Click here to begin your monstrous adventure!
