Our take on Skogdal
The defining detail is the combination of repeated exploration in one handcrafted town with deckbuilding: each run uses drafted and fused cards alongside recruited followers.
What is Skogdal?
Skogdal is a card-driven adventure about creating and refining a deck in a traditional Norwegian village.
Each run sends players through a carefully made world, where they select from over 300 cards, combine them, and assemble useful combos. Recruited followers can accompany the expedition, ranging from politicians and athletes to wrestlers, fire enthusiasts, skaters, punks, clergy, animals, and nuisances. Exploration and card choices work together in an unusual yet recognizable setting. Beneath the village’s everyday surface lies a disturbing mystery tied to its strange happenings.
