THE VEIL: Apocalypse (Season 5)

The end is nigh.  After discovering the true depth of corruption flowing through the vile bloodlines that rule from the shadows, those with the will to take back their world from evil must choose between illumination or the end of all things.

Each set of THE VEIL is a stand alone experience.  YOU DO NOT NEED TO START AT SET 1 IN ORDER TO PLAY THE GAME.  Feel free to start at Season 5 and when you decide you love the game you can catch up on previous sets later on from our website!!!

New Players

This Kickstarter Campaign is to secure funding for Season 5 THE VEIL: Apocalypse. All Stretch Goal cards from this set will be included in the Season 5 box set.

If you are new to THE VEIL, welcome!  We are so glad you have found us.  We have an awesome community of players who have helped us build this game into a really special experience. 

THE VEIL is a new standard for Deck-Building games.  It is in no small part because of the generous support and great concepts brought forth by Kickstarter backers like you!

We have a complete tutorial and rulebook available on the website and linked below in the How to Play section of this Kickstarter page.  Check out THE VEIL!  You'll be glad you did.

Age Recommendations

There is some graphic and/or disturbing imagery in the game. This is a Dark Fantasy game, and even though many 10-year-olds could totally grasp the mechanics, the visuals were not designed for that age group.  Check out the game and be a responsible parent. You make the final decision on what your children can handle.

Additionally, CAMPAIGN BOOKS I, II, III, IV, and V contain some mature themes and graphic descriptions of violence and death.  I recommend the Campaign Books be played only by ages 17 and up (MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY).

New Decks

How To Play

To play the game, first select a Hero character.  That character has an 8 card Starting Deck and a 36 card Fate Deck.  Each player shuffles their two decks separately.  Place 4 cards from your Fate Deck face up to create your Fate Route (as you purchase or Banish cards from here you will replenish these 4 slots).  The player with the least amount of Health goes first and draws 1 less card on their first turn (4 cards instead of 5).

Each player takes turns dealing damage, playing Recruits, healing, and using their unique Hero ability until all other players have their Health reduced to zero.  You win!

Unlike most other deck-building games, each player has his or her own Hero, starting deck, and an exclusive market (called a Fate Route) where that player may acquire better cards. This creates a much more immersive experience that fits your play style, with your Hero or Villain gaining power and skills within the theme of their character class.

For example, your Paladin character does not purchase Cultist spells. Your Demon character will not have Angel Recruits in his or her deck. The decks and character classes are designed thematically, and the resulting experience is a lot of fun!

THE VEIL deck-building game was first brought to life by generous Kickstarter supporters in 2018.  In 2019, we ventured further into the realm of shadow with THE VEIL's Season 2 Rulers of Darkness.

In our third installment, we will discover the full consequences of our past and attempt to finally reconcile with the destruction we have unleashed.

Each Campaign can be played as a solo adventurer or with a group of up to 5 players in an epic battle against the forces of evil.  You can check out the rules by watching our tutorial or clicking the link to our PDF rulebook.

Add Ons

Our newest expansion pack is a dungeon crawl for THE VEIL. In this expansion, you take a Hero solo or up to 4 friends cooperatively through 5 random Settings, fighting off huge mobs of Enemies and Bosses (108 cards).

NOTE: The Card Crate is from a manufacturer in the UK and delivers separately from the rest of the game content.

Exterior dimensions of the new Deluxe Card Crate are 12H x 15.75W x 6D in inches. 

The crate houses a removable pressed board container with magnetic lid.  Measuring  10.25H x 14.5W x 1D in inches, this is perfect for the campaign books and the rules, as depicted below.

After removing the additional booklet container, the Deluxe Card Crate has adjustable wooden card dividers, allowing for 35 separate deck slots (5 rows x7 columns).

I have the cards sleeved with the thin "penny" sleeves we have made available for the last few Kickstarters, and the Deluxe Wooden Crate is able to carry all 4 sets, Between Worlds, and the Enemies & Allies Card Packs. 

NOTE: The manufacturer recommended to me that the leather handle be treated as decorative (not load bearing), once the crate is full of cards.
