Van Ryder Games will release Enemies & Lovers: The Crown of Elfhame, a new card game, which will hit retail in Winter 2025.
This card game is based on the Elfhame series of YA books by Holly Black (the new game was also developed by the author). It is a bluffing game set in this dark world, featuring characters from the series such as Jude and Prince Cardan. The game originally raised $650,000 from 8,700 backers on Kickstarter (about $75 per backer).
“Holly has created an engrossing world full of morally complex characters in her best-selling Folk of the Air novels,” stated AJ Porfirio, President of Van Ryder Games, about the upcoming release. “She has perfectly integrated the magic of Elfhame into Enemies & Lovers creating an intense, but easy-to-learn, card game."
The game is for two to four players and players in 20 to 40 minutes.
