News Flash: Seers Catalog The Card Game, Harmonies Announced

New Bezier Card Game
Bezier Games has announced a new card game which is currently available for pre-order. "Seers Catalog is an almost-shedding card game, where each player tries to get rid of almost all of the cards in their hand. Each round players have a unique set of artifacts that give them asymmetric abilities to help manage their hand of cards. When one player runs out of cards, the round is scored: Each card is worth -1. But if you have 5 or fewer cards in your hand, the lowest value on those cards is worth positive points! "
