Azoove

Azoove is a co-op card roguelike about a doomed road trip to save the world by returning a cursed book. You and your teammates cross the Azoove desert, managing resources with cards and handling each day's new dangers, called Misfortunes. Online multiplayer supports cooperative play.

The story

Long ago, Farloon's founder saved his people with a stolen book of secrets. Now that he has died, the debt comes due: the souls of the city are at stake. Returning the grimoire to its rightful wardens may avert Farloon's fate, but a deadly desert stands between you and the city's salvation.

Limited communication

During one phase of each round, you cannot discuss your hand with your allies. Instead, you exchange cards without revealing your hand, using what little planning and information you have to infer the best move. You can develop communication patterns that give meaning to the cards you trade.

As the heroes search for Opportunity Cards, strategic exchanges help you share information and make the most of dwindling resources. The game does not enforce silence; players are expected to use separate communication software and follow the rule themselves.

Choose a hero

You can play as four heroes, each with unique powers and cards:

• Oriana, the Ranger
• Sage, the Forager
• Auri, the Bard
• Rin, the Guardian

Trinkets and challenges

Trinkets grant passive abilities that can strengthen and shape each expedition. After overcoming Azoove's normal challenges, you can add additional rules to make the game harder for veteran players.
