You play as an Ankou, a chaperone of death. Seeking salvation, you lead souls of the dead safely to the afterlife. Three souls in exchange for your own.
Souls however must come willingly, and aren't so easy to come by. Often fractured by a violent passing, soul fragments are scattered throughout the land.
Once found, it would be wise to persuade the souls with coin so that they might experience riches in the beyond, but be wary - There may be others with a better offer.
On a players turn they have 3 options:
- Draw a card from the field
- Take income (1 coin)
- Pay for an action (steal a card from a player, or draw randomly from the discard)
The game ends when a player has collected 3 souls (3 sets of matching soul-fragments). The player who collected the souls first wins.
