— About the Game

The Wretched Grimoire is an occult card game of resource management and brutal combat. Players take on the roles of rival sorcerers competing to accumulate power, summon infernal allies, and dominate their enemies through cunning and dark ritual. Only one will reign supreme.

Resource Management

Harvest soul essence, blood tokens, and forbidden knowledge to fuel your rituals.

Occult Combat

Command cursed warriors and summon demonic creatures to overwhelm your rivals.

Dark Rituals

Unlock devastating spells and forbidden rites that reshape the battlefield.

Every Game Different

A deep card pool ensures no two sessions play the same way.

"The grimoire does not forgive hesitation. Neither will your opponents." — From the Rulebook

— How to Play

I

Prepare the Grimoire

Each player builds their hand from the shared card pool, choosing their starting resources and initial ritual cards.

II

Gather Your Power

On your turn, collect resources from the dark well — soul essence, ichor, and forbidden texts fuel everything you do.

III

Summon & Strike

Spend resources to play creature and spell cards, launching attacks against rival sorcerers and their minions.

IV

Claim Dominion

The last sorcerer standing — or the first to complete the Grand Ritual — wins. Victory is never merciful.
