The Council is a standalone expansion for Mini Rogue. You can play it with or without the base game. - If you don't own the base game: you can play The Council solo or in pair (competitively, with the Overlord module). - If you own the base game: you can play The Council solo (with a much greater variety of cards), cooperatively (with two or three players), or competitively (with two, three or four players, thanks to the Overlord module). In The Council, play as an adventurer who arrives in a doomed city, lost in the hands of a power-crazed regent, and his council who orchestrates dark manipulations in the shadows. Wander the dark, randomly-generated alleyways, card after card, encounter ever more terrifying encounters, manage your resources and upgrade your skills by gaining levels to meet the greatest challenge of all: defeating the King's Remains! All Council content is compatible with the Mini Rogue base game. The game also includes a campaign, which follows on from the base game campaign (but can be played without having played the previous campaign).
