The game is set in the centre of "Promise Day", and players will need to work through layers of enemies with the hope to thwart your father's ambitions. Taking roughly 30-40 minutes depending on how many of you are in the mix. Don't worry, there will be some all-new and original artwork involved on the cards too, so you won't have to worry about a copypasted image featuring in your deck.

It doesn't matter whether you are new to board gaming, or quite the veteran. There will be different sets of rules to scale for difficulty, available as Novice, Hard, Ultimate and even a Solo Mode for those looking for a challenge.

The game is set to hit retail for Spring 2022, as Full Alchemist Brotherhood: The Promised Day approaches.
