Read the full game description

Soulaween is a compact two-player abstract duel themed around spirits and the afterlife. Players place soul pieces on a square grid and flip neighboring pieces according to the active side of a character card. Each character changes the rules of conversion, and rotating the card can alter what the next placement will do. The first player to collect three qualifying sets or chains wins, rewarding tactical pattern recognition and careful control of both colors.
