Description Edit | History

For ages the vile Doom Knights have sought to gather the remaining Thunderstones to fulfill a prophecy of corruption over the lands. Now the first Thunderstone has been discovered in the Dungeons of Grimhold and the Doom Knights have sent their minions to claim the relic. The Villagers of Barrowsdale gather brave souls to face the dungeon and keep the Thunderstone out of the hands of the Doom Knights.

Thunderstone is a fantasy deck-building game. Fight the evils of the dungeon to prove your worth. Gain powerful weaponry and level into new and mighty hero classes. Claim the best cards and survive to take the Thunderstone.

4 Thunderstone Draft: Rules and labels for playing Thunderstone with drafting
This file contains rules and card labels for playing Thunderstone using a drafting mechanic to enable players to select which cards form the village stacks, as well as to create private stacks that can only be purchased by them (as in AEG's Nightfall).
