## What is Lore Seeker?

Lore Seeker is a retro turn based strategy & deck-building game. You'll...
- explore the map
- collect cards & items
- choose your faction
- adjust your deck strategically
- battle your enemies

Use various cards to summon troops, weaken enemy troops, buff your own, or deal damage. You can also use cards to bend the rules of the game, draw additional cards, gain control of enemy troops, and assemble powerful combinations.

Fair warning: this is a harsh 'permanent death' game - when you die, you have to restart all the way at the beginning of the act you were playing. There's no 'easy mode' to get around this.

*****

A: No, there are no accounts or log-ins and you can play offline any time you want. Lore Seeker won't use any of your cellular data, nor collect any of your behavioral data or personal information.

Q: How much content is there?
A: This is a small game - there are 2 acts with 4 missions each, and a 4-player draft map. The first act is designed to be easier and introduce the game, while act 2 is much more challenging. The booster draft map is a different experience every time.

Q: Will this game drain my battery?
A: No, the game is light and iPhones/iPads are very powerful devices. The strain on your battery life will be limited.
