What is Banners of Ruin?
Banners of Ruin is a single-player, turn-based deckbuilder set in Dawn's Point, where House Blackfoot is fighting back against House Ender. Each run, you choose routes through the city, recruit up to six animal characters, add cards and equipment, and fight enemies on your way to the Guard Captain.
