Why play it

The digital version of the board game designed by Eric B. Vogel, based on the Dresden Files book series. The game has slightly different starting rules depending on the number players and the difficulty mode used. Each player plays a character from the novels (one of them is always Harry), taking on a shuffled scenario deck based on one of the books in the series. Using a combination of cards, dice, and teamwork, players attack foes, investigate cases, take advantages, and overcome obstacles to make sure they have the best possible odds for a win in the final showdown at the end of the book! Like any good cooperative game, it's hard to win (no fun if there's no challenge!), but always rewarding to play, and scales smoothly from one to five players.

Story and worldbuilding

The game references the main events and actions taken by characters in the books Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril, Summer Knight and Death Masks along with the short story collection Side Jobs.

The Dresden Files: Cooperative Card Game is such a fundamentally flawed concept, and the execution is so lacking, that it offers nothing whatsoever of value.
