About the Game

Baron Samedi, a spirit of the dead, has tricked you and your group of wandering toads who were looking for a place to settle and thrive, by trapping them in the cursed bayou and forcing them to face the evil that inhabits it. Determined to overcome the dreadful Baron Samedi, the toads must band together to defeat his waves of minions and cleanse the corruption.

Upgrade and restore the Tavern that will be inhabited by allies who will grant you unique abilities and join you on your journey, powerful cards to add to your deck, traps for strategic combat and Veves to harness vodou powers.

Choose between 3 different Toads each with their own traits, bonuses and weaknesses in grid-based combat. Each run is unique through three different islands, combat encounters and permadeath granting you upgrades at the end of each run.

Combine a variety of tactical movement cards with powerful combat cards to create the strongest deck you can in order to effectively defeat the Baron’s forces.

Toads of the Bayou Includes:

- 50+ Cards

- 3 Playable Toads each with different abilities and traits
