Anathema - Game Preview

Friday July 25, 2003
Salem, Massachusetts, 1692. Witches, fear, hallucinations. That's the setting for Anathema, an upcoming card game from APE (Advanced Primate Entertainment) Games.

Anathema is for 2 to 4 players, and takes about 30 minutes to play. According to the APE Games web site, "Anathema (which means 'curse' or 'cursed one') is a card game based on the fast-paced classic card game Casino. Players capture face-up cards on the table with cards from their hands by matching point values. While the rules are simple, your subtle strategies can make the difference between winning and becoming Anathema."

The striking art on the 52 cards is by Drew Tucker. Anathema is scheduled for publication in November 2003.
