The Elder Scrolls: Legends - Isle of Madnesstakes place in the Shivering Isles and follows a father on a journey to save his son which eventually puts him at odds with the Daedric Prince of Madness. When it comes to gameplay,Isle of Madnessincludes a new Double Card mechanic as well as two new kinds of lane conditions: Dementia and Mania.
Double Cards, simply enough, are contain two distinct cards in one package that only needs to be played once. After being drawn, a Double Card will split into the two cards that make it up, which should give players more options for less of a cost. As for the new lanes, the Dementia Lane damages the opponent if the player controls the most powerful card in play while the Mania Lane lets the player with the card that has the highest health draw another card.
All three of these things seem like they interesting new mechanics that should spice upThe Elder Scrolls: Legendsfor longtime players.
