■ Product Introduction

[Game appeal]

"The Story of Isaac: Four Souls" is a full-scale card game for 2-4 players based on the popular game series.
This is a game that you can enjoy heated negotiations with friends, with themes of sacrifice, betrayal, and item hoarding.
Carefully designed by Edmund McMillen, the game incorporates cooperative play, bartering, and betrayal, ensuring every playthrough is different.
Familiar characters, bosses, and items from the series are turned into cards, weaving new stories right at the table.

[How to progress through the game]

Each turn, players battle monsters while playing loot cards and using items.
By defeating monsters, you can earn more items, loot, and sometimes even souls, which are necessary for victory.
At the start of the game, you'll have two shop slots, two monster slots, and an additional room slot if you're using the Requiem expansion.
Each slot is filled with a card face up from the corresponding deck.
Players will receive a random character card and be given a corresponding starting item card.

[A wide variety of card types and strategies]

• Treasure Cards : These are items placed in front of the player that have gameplay-changing abilities.
  Cards with silver borders have static and triggered abilities, while cards with gold borders have activated abilities.
• Loot Cards : These are held in a player's hand and can only be played when they have priority and a loot play is available.
  Played loot cards are placed on the stack and take effect after they are resolved.
  Decorations are special loot cards that become items after being played.
• Monster Card : When played, it becomes either a "Monster" with a stat block or an "Event" without one.
  Monsters can be attacked and defeated to receive rewards.
  "Bosses" in particular are tougher, but tend to offer more valuable rewards, including souls.
  Events are discarded immediately after they are resolved.
  Also, "curses" are a type of event that the active player can inflict on other players.

[Dynamic turn-based gameplay]

Each turn consists of a "Start Phase," "Action Phase," and "End Phase."
During the action phase, you can perform various actions such as activating abilities, playing loot cards, attacking monsters, and purchasing items.
Attacks are resolved using a D6 die.
If the dice roll is equal to or greater than the target monster's evasion value, it will be a hit and damage will be dealt to the monster.
On the other hand, if the value is below the evasion value, it will be a miss and the attacking player will take damage.
These tense dice rolls add unpredictability to the game.
Purchases can be made with the top card of the treasure deck or items in the shop slots for 10 cents.
