A scream! A crash! A bolt of lightning!
The Duc de Chesnay’s annual party for the high society of Paris comes to an abrupt halt when one of the radiant young ladies in attendance is found dead in a side room of the Palais de Luxemburg. Hushed murmurs throughout the party speak of a pale-white body, of dark sorcery and evil forces, and soon the whole of Paris is aghast with the tale.
Now it is up to an unlikely bunch – an analytic detective, a dashing young reporter, a vampire hunter, a faerie lady, a sorcerer and a dwarven steam-engineer – to chase down an ancient evil across New Europa and vanquish it by sword, sorcery and steam.
Castle Falkenstein is a game of rogue Wizards and Faerie Lords, of gigantic Landfortresses and fire-breathing dragons, of scheming Prussian nobles and insidious British steam-lords, of high adventure and romance in an alternate Victorian Universe. And it uses card instead of dice.
