Call to Adventure features a unique "rune rolling" system for resolving challenges, a point-based system that encourages storytelling, and over 150 unique cards. Players begin each game with an origin card that provides their backstory as well as two "starter" abilities. Each round they may either acquire trait cards from the board or face a challenge. Challenges each have two possible paths a player can choose from. For example, players who encounter the Thieves' Guild may choose to train as a spy, or train as a killer. Each challenge has a difficulty that must be overcome by rolling successes on carved runes. The more a player has of the abilities required to overcome the challenge, the more runes they will be able to cast.
As part of its Kickstarter project, Brotherwise offered Call to Adventure: Name of the Wind, a 75-card expansion that features new challenges and destinies based on The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss.This expansion will be followed by Call to Adventure: Stormlight, another 75-card expansion, with this one being based on the works of Brandon Sanderson. In an August 2018 post, Sanderson wrote, "The team here at Dragonsteel have had a chance to play and really enjoyed it. It's a fun game with unique mechanics and beautiful art. The Call to Adventure base game is inspired by classic fantasy tropes, but the Stormlight version will feature all-new cards that bring Roshar to life." Here's a preview image from that second expansion:

La Mancha is a storytelling card game based on Miguel de Cervantes's classic 1605 novel Don Quixote.
Players take turns revealing the steps of an epic journey, with everything from angry innkeepers to virtuous love interests. To overcome each challenge, players use chivalry cards in their hand (based on books that Don Quixote read in the novel) to tell stories of their deeds, with the best storyteller winning strength-enhancing treasure cards. Players can then use these treasures to perform great feats, such as slaying fearsome giants (or are they windmills?) and dueling their rivals. The player who has performed the most feats by the end of the game wins!

The Walking Dead: Something to Fear is a simultaneous card selection game with variable powers for 2-5 players. Players must outwit their frenemies in order to acquire the best sets of cards to win the game, but if players aren't careful, the group will be overwhelmed and everyone will lose. Do you have what it takes to survive?
• In October 2018, publisher River Horse — which specializes in licensed games and other items — released Frazetta: Card & Dice Battle Game from designers Alessio Cavatore and Mark Latham, a simple card and dice game that from the description seems akin to War or Top Trumps with an added dice roll-off. Perhaps the game is merely a vehicle to put more Frazetta artwork on today's market in a new form...:strip_icc()/pic4364600.jpg)
