Restless Spirits is an easy-to-learn tactical card game where you play as a Spirit Guide, and you're helping Lost Spirits find their way home. Combining elements of set collection, tactical card drafting, ability combos, and push your luck, it's a race against your opponent(s) to free the spirits.

‎     ‎ 

‎   ‎ 

You play as a mystical Spirit Guide, helping lost Spirits find their way home. During your adventure you'll:

• Encounter a range of whimsical Light Spirits and sinister Dark Spirits.
• Search for and collect sets of mysterious Totems.
• Earn Blessings and Curses as rewards for helping the Spirits.
• Use powerful Spirit abilities at just the right moment to outplay your opponents!

Restless Spirits is easy to learn, fun to play, and has the right dose of player interaction to make it the perfect opener for a games night!

Beautiful Creature Artwork

Encounter 30 original Spirit creatures inspired by obscure myths and legends from all over the world, such as elusive Fey Folk, strange Yokai, and supernatural Djinn. Spirits are printed on Tarot-size cards for a more immersive experience!

Tactical Gameplay, Big Combos and Competitive Player Interaction

Strategically choose which Spirits to attract based on their Totem requirements and Spirit Type, and wait for the perfect moment to unleash their powerful Spirit abilities to disrupt an opponent's plans, or advance your own!

Easy to Learn Rules

We've put a lot of effort into ensuring the rules are lightweight and beginner-friendly. Colour-coded player aid cards, a simple setup and a full 'How To Play' video allows players of all ages and experience levels to pick the game up quickly!

Immersive Story Mode

Tales of the Spirit Realm is a collection of 12 short folktales about the Spirits in the game. Before playing, draw a Tale card (either at random or in order), turn to the associated page in the Tales booklet, and read the story! Each Tale also has an accompanying gameplay modifier, putting a fun twist on the rules for that game only.

6 mystical characters, each linked to one of the Spirit types.

Tactically choose a Spirit you want to help and attract them to your board.

Every Spirit has 3 different Totem requirements. Use your Action Points to buy Totem cards you need from the market, then play matching Totems from your hand to your Spirit, marking off their requirements one by one!

Every Spirit has a unique ability. Light Spirit abilities may help you win the game faster, and Dark Spirit abilities may slow down your opponents instead. But most can only be activated once-per-game, so wait for that perfect moment to use them!

Fulfill all three of a Spirit's Totem requirements, and it will be released into the Spirit Realm! You'll draw a Blessing or Curse as a reward, and the released Spirit becomes one of the cards you need to win the game! In a 2-player game for example, the first to 5 released Spirits wins!

And we're now introducing Solo Mode, making Restless Spirits a 1-4 player game!

Just like in multiplayer, you're racing to release Spirits before time runs out – but in solo mode you must help at least one of each Spirit Type, and you'll be racing the deck instead of your opponent!

The individual Spirit abilities are replaced with Spirit Type abilities, designed around solo play mechanics. We've made sure to keep them in theme with the Spirit Types they represent.

Strategically activate your Spirit Type Abilities in the right order for maximum reward, and use your actions efficiently to release Spirits and achieve a high score!

There are 30 unique Light and Dark Spirits to encounter, with a different set of 3 Totem requirements listed at the bottom of each card. Every turn, you must decide where best to use your 2 Action Points: attracting Spirits to your board, buying Totem cards from a marketplace, and playing them to tick off a Spirit's requirements one by one.

You'll also be using powerful Spirit abilities to gain an advantage over your opponent - Light Spirit abilities will help you win even faster, whilst Dark Spirit abilities will slow down your opponents instead! But Spirit abilities can only be used once-per-game, so tactical timing is important to get the most out of them!

If you can meet all 3 of a Spirit's Totem requirements, it will be released into the Spirit Realm, becoming one of the cards you need to win the game! The first player to released the required number of Spirits (changes with player count), wins!
