Tides of Madness

Two players draft from small hands over three rounds to build a tableau of cards representing a kingdom. Each card belongs to one of five suits and carries a scoring objective; players score points each round for suit collections and card-specific goals, then record their round totals. After each round each player keeps one card as a persistent “relic” to carry into later rounds, influencing future scoring. Several cards also carry madness icons; players collect madness tokens during scoring and the player with the most madness each round chooses between a small bonus or discarding a madness token. Accumulating nine or more madness causes an immediate loss.

Just the same as the original. Better art, a new mechanic, but a simple card game at all.
