Much like the life its main character desperately fights to save, Death Howl is a collection of fleeting but precious moments, and an experience we strongly recommend.

Death Howl Review
Between its constant flow of cards and tender portrayal of grief, Death Howl delights with the little things, even if its somewhat restrictive approach to deckbuilding won't be for everyone.
