The Few and Cursed
Players assume the roles of cursed scavengers traversing a water-scarce, post-apocalyptic desert where moisture serves as currency. They explore ruined settlements and supernatural sites, pursue bounties and jobs, and seek powerful artifacts tied to dark folk magic. Gameplay centers on deck-building: players customize their decks by acquiring new cards, improvising gear and abilities, and balancing combat, movement, and resource management. Encounters, card plays, and tactical choices determine reputation and survival as players hunt curses, fight rivals, and attempt to tip the balance in a harsh, witch-haunted wasteland.

Garfield2.0 Klong in the Western. But you don't have a big influence on your deck because you random draw 2 cards and keep 1. I just don't find it very interesting. The cursed aspect falls flat. I prefer Klong. And the board is too big, you can't read all the cards.
