A seat for new and returning players

Learn to Play

Pull up a chair. Whether this is your first hero or your first game in years, these community lessons offer a clear place to begin.

Two lessons, in order

Settle in at the card table

Start with the basics, then continue when you want to go deeper. Both videos are community-created by Zarthbenn and hosted independently on YouTube.

After watching

Put the lessons on the table

You do not need a perfect deck or a complete collection to begin.

Browse the Card Vault

Inspect the physical card scans and get familiar with the cards at the table.

Build your first deck

Choose a verified hero, add cards, and let the Tavern flag rules that still need review.

Track your collection

Keep card quantities and product progress together as your physical collection grows.

Ready to sit down with a deck? Open Grokk's First Deck Workshop to choose a hero and build your first list.
