The Whispers & Treasure

Whispers of a legendary treasure echo through the chilling mists of the northern seas, a prize so exquisite it evades even the gaze of the gods. They call it the Dreadheart, a crystallized Titan's heart born of love's lament. Forged in agony, it promises immense wealth, power, and... a gnawing torment to its possessor.

The Dreadheart 🌊 is a solo game with 18 cards with an In-Hand system. In this game, you will take command of Black Mamba or Lone Conqueror, pirate and adventurer ships, in search of an old treasure, The Dreadheart. 

During your journey, manage resources to explore regions and discover clues that will lead you to the location of the treasure, confront monstrous inhabitants of the deep and resist the fury of relentless storms.

Features

• Quick rules and easy setup
• Play wherever you want, use only 18 cards and your two hands 
• Luck is important, but strategy makes the difference
• Old School tattoo illustrations made with watercolor and ink
• Two difficulty levels to challenge you

How the game works

• In your left hand is the Ship's Deck, your ship and your Clues yet to be revealed. In your right hand, the Encounter Deck.
• Each turn, a new card from the Encounter Deck is revealed. All the cards have symbols that must be solved by rotating cards from the Adventurer's Deck that have the same symbols.
• When you resolve a card, it becomes part of the Adventurer's deck and gives you more chances to continue exploring the seas.
• By solving 3 Exploration cards, you will have revealed the 3 Clues and thus won the game by finding the treasure, The Dreadheart.

👉 Additional Information: 1 player | 8~15 min | Age 10+
