About the game

What is Blightwatch: Reconnaissance

A dark fantasy card game of survival, deception, and power.

In Blightwatch, you take on the role of an elite operative navigating the ruins of a world consumed by the Blight — a mind-corrupting force unleashed by ancient magic. The last survivors fight not only to uncover lost artifacts but also to escape the growing madness around them.

Blightwatch is a fast-paced card game where players must outmaneuver, mislead, and manipulate both the Blighted forces around them and each other. Every round represents a desperate skirmish, with players racing to control the most powerful Blighted — only to rid themselves of this control before the Blight overwhelms them.

As the game progresses, operatives acquire artifacts — powerful relics that offer new abilities but may corrupt those who wield them. Tensions rise, alliances break, and in the end, only one will stand. Will you survive the Blight… or become part of it?
