Brandon Sanderson's Shards of Creation

Trick-taking, run on the primal forces of the Cosmere.

Each Shard is an aspect of divinity — Autonomy, Cultivation, Devotion, Dominion, Honor, Odium, Preservation and Ruin — and the game turns those into the suits and powers of a trick-taking game that will make sense to a card player and to a Sanderson reader for entirely different reasons.

Thirty minutes, two to four players, designed by Hayden Dillard. Light enough for a family that has never heard of Roshar, deep enough to hold up for people who have read all of it.

Perfect for: Cosmere readers, and anyone who plays cards.

2–4 players | 30 minutes | Age 12+
