Monsters Take Center Stage in New Sequel to Cards, Universe and Everything

If we’ve learned anything about rifts in our time writing about games, it’s that they’re usually bad news. But Avid Games has fully embraced the awfulness of rifts with their latest release, Eerie Worlds, the much-anticipated follow-up to their charming tactical CCG, Cards, the Universe and Everything. This time, the focus shifts to monsters, and not just any monsters—those that emerge from rifts.

Avid Games has crafted a visually diverse array of monsters, drawing inspiration from real-life horrors rooted in mythology and folklore. From Japanese Yokai like Jikininki and Kuchisake to Slavic terrors such as Vodyanoy and Psoglav, Eerie Worlds embraces folklore from around the globe. You'll encounter iconic creatures like Bigfoot, Mothman, the Nandi Bear, El Chupacabra, and many more, each accompanied by a well-researched description that adds depth and educational value to your gameplay.

The game features four Alliances—Grimbald, Zerrofel, Rivin, and Synnig—alongside various Hordes, which adds a layer of tactical depth. Monsters within the same Alliance may share certain properties, but their Hordes can differ, offering a rich strategic landscape. Your personal collection of monsters, known as your Grimoire, can be leveled up by merging duplicate cards. With 160 basic cards to start, merging allows access to many more, and Avid Games has promised additional Hordes in the near future to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.

In Eerie Worlds, you'll take a deck of nine monster cards and one world card into battle, navigating through nine 30-second turns filled with high-stakes decisions on mana usage and synergistic plays. It's a game that demands strategic thinking and quick reflexes.
