The Last Hex

The Last Hex is a deck-based adventure in which you face an advancing undead army and seek to destroy its leader, The Lost, before the kingdom burns. Your deck determines the actions you can take in battle, while equipment and training improve your abilities. You can customize your character and change your build and play style during a run.

A kingdom in peril

You travel through hostile lands to confront the undead leader. The undead army steadily spreads across the map, destroying cities and events as it goes. Exploration can make your character stronger, but it also gives your enemy more time to advance.

Build your character

Your abilities are represented by your deck. You find stronger cards and equipment as you progress, train to improve your character, and use equipment to enhance abilities or gain other bonuses. Stats can improve cards permanently or temporarily. An inventory lets you carry and equip items, while a potion system lets you carry potions and use them when they will benefit you most.

Explore the map

Each new journey generates a random hex map with enemy camps, events and cities. Cities have shops with exhaustible stock, and the map’s locations are visible from the start so you can plan a route. Events offer choices with set outcomes, and learning which choices suit each situation can help you on later runs. As you explore, monsters grow more difficult, while better cards and equipment become available.

Learn your enemies

Each monster has a custom deck of cards and effects to learn. Monster sayings can indicate what they will play, and an optional setting shows their basic intent. Another optional setting displays card equations. A compendium records the equipment, monsters, potions and cards you have encountered.
