Jinx Realm just posted information on the upcoming tabletop cardgame Anvil!
What is a Anvil?!
Anvil is a tabletop card game where, against all odds and constant attacks against you, you need to push back the tide of monsters while gathering materials to outfit your hero. The better the equipment the hero has, the better the defense against the Pestilence, and the chance of salvaging even better items. Manage to create a masterwork or three and the hero may stand against the champions of decay, and you might just about manage to close the rift to the realm of Pestilence.
In Anvil, each player chooses one of the available races and takes the reigns of that race's master crafter. During play, each player has their own deck of cards that represent the available schematics for equipment to be made. In each turn you can use your materials to craft an item, equip crafted items to your hero in order to improve their stats, or peruse one of the many options in your disposal in order to better utilize your limited resources: refine common materials to exotic ones, research other schematics, salvage crafted items for their components, or trade basic materials for another kind.
Then you send your outfitted hero to stand against the wave of the creatures that come from the rift. Each event may feature a monster or an unfortunate situation, or perhaps even a rare treat just lying about. The more situations your hero can tackle successfully, the better your options will be when he returns. Use the new materials, salvage old items, and make even better ones so you can eventually tackle a champion. Win, close the rift, and you will become a legend among your people
