description Keyforge Overview
KeyForge is a unique deck card game designed by Richard Garfield and published by Fantasy Flight Games in 2018. It distinguishes itself through a procedurally generated distribution system, meaning every deck sold contains a completely unique combination of cards and cannot be modified by the player. Each deck features its own unique name and card back, combining three distinct alien factions or houses from a larger overarching pool. The game targets players who enjoy discovering synergies within randomized, ready-to-play decks rather than engaging in traditional deckbuilding.

What makes Keyforge completely unique compared to other card games?
