Galdr Inkblade

Galðr (Old Norse) — A SPELL THAT ONLY WORKS IF YOU SAY IT LOUD. The word comes from gala : to crow, to sing, to chant. The same Germanic root still sits inside nightingale , the night-singer. In the sagas a galdr isn't a gesture, or a potion, or a rune scratched in the dirt. It's something you speak, and the speaking is the whole of the magic. No wand. No components. The word did the work. That's the game. Nine letters on the table. Spell something. The word is not what triggers the weapon — the word is the weapon. THE TABLE BELONGS TO BOTH OF YOU Those nine tiles aren't your hand. They're the board, and the creature opposite is reading them too. It tells you what it means to spell and which letters it needs — so every turn you're choosing between the word you want and the word it can't afford to lose. Take its letters and watch the number over its head come down. It will find something else. It will find something worse. LONG WORDS HIT HARDEST. REPEATED WORDS DON'T HIT AT ALL. Three letters is a scratch. Nine is three and a half times the damage and a name the fight remembers. But the table only gives back four tiles a turn, so emptying it is a two-turn promise you're making to yourself. And a word your enemy has already heard lands at half weight — say STONE twice and the second one bounces. The dictionary is a resource. You are spending it. USE SPECIAL LETTER CARDS Inflict BURN, CHILL, FREEZE or POISON when you form words with special letter cards. Froze the enemy and cast lightning for extra damage. Poison them then burn and the enemy is on for a mighty pain. Mix and match your attacks, use your wits to win and survive. Keep a look out since your enemies can use them too! EARN RARE LETTER CARDS You will die ... a lot. Each death will make you stronger by earning random letter cards with special rarities and effects. Add them to your loadout for the next run and you might succeed this time around. SOME WORDS ARE GALDR In this game, words are magic, and some magic are more powerful than others. EMBER sets things alight. Something else will freeze a thing where it stands. Discover them all and complete The Tome of Galdrs. EVERY CREATURE IS A DIFFERENT SENTENCE TO FINISH Fight monsters, defeat bosses and progress through the dungeons. Some monsters will be more challenging than the rest.
