Covenant

On the vast and distant frontiers of Antarras, life looks a whole lot different than it does here on Earth. The sun never rises, hellbeasts roam the wasteland, and technologies we take for granted are entirely absent.

Despite all of this, the people of Antarras come together against the harsh conditions of that alien planet and take part in a long-held tradition: a trick-taking card game called Covenant. Always played with five people, and drawing upon parts of Antarran life that may seem strange to us here on Earth, Covenant is a game that—just like life on Antarras—values making the most with the hand you’ve been dealt, and never overestimating your value.

Covenant brings people together. I’ve brought this game back to Earth so that, if you ever find yourself on Antarras, you’ll already be one step closer to making yourself a home there. Whether you end up in a boarding house in the city of Bell’s Landing, in one of the many mines dotted across the dangerous frontier, or in the saloon of a little boomtown on the edge of the Ruin, you can be sure to find some local willing to play a hand or two.

Covenant is a five-player trick taking game from the distant planet Antarras. Bet on how many Stones you can win, void tricks to foil your opponents, or scoop up the tricks your opponents have left behind with the elusive Courier. Just make sure not to take more than your fair share of Stones!
