An illusion hides the deceit of an empty throne, blinding the lonely spirits to the truth of their forsaken city, and their bleak existence in the ashes of a dead kingdom.
Within these ruins, a cooperative journey of survival and heroism will unfold… for those prepared to die.”

“I haven’t playedTSCyet (but have played the other two new core sets), but QA issues aside I think it would be a fine entry point,” one commentread.
“There is one broken event (Lost Envoy, which is a stupid idea anyway) and a couple encounters that have strange quirks or rule interactions that were probably unintended (The Bell Tower, Illusionary Doorway, maybe others).
The character boards are indeed trash, but serviceable if you don’t mind writing on them.”
At a whopping £120 for the new set, it is definitely an investment.
