Binding of Isaac: Four Souls

• Interesting card game with flavour based on Binding of Isaac
• coldacid played it with his brother and a friend on the weekend
• One to four players
• Easy to pick up and play, even with four players it shouldn't take more than 90 minutes or so for a full game
• Lots of ambiguities with abilities specified on some of the cards
  • We didn't do any rules lawyering but it's definitely open to it
  • There should be errata provided for the game to close some potential loopholes
• Definitely some OP hands possible
