Binding of Isaac: Four Souls
- Interesting card game with flavour based on Binding of Isaac
- coldacid played it with his brother and a friend on the weekend
- One to four players
- Easy to pick up and play, even with four players it shouldn't take more than 90 minutes or so for a full game
- Lots of ambiguities with abilities specified on some of the cards
- We didn't do any rules lawyering but it's definitely open to it
- There should be errata provided for the game to close some potential loopholes
- Definitely some OP hands possible
