“#1 game of 2013.” – Dice Tower listeners and co-host Eric Summerer
“In a year dominated by excellent cooperative games, the Pathfinder card game set itself apart…If you’ve got a gaming group that loves playing story-driven RPGs, but no one to gamemaster your group, the Pathfinder card game is a perfect choice.” – Game Informer, Top 10 Tabletop Games of 2013
“Board Game of the Year” – GeekDad’s Jonathan Liu
“A wonderful game that offers the thrill of a traditional roleplaying game without the need for a game master.” – Deseret News, Top 10 Tabletop Games of 2013
“RPG publisher Paizo certainly made a grand entrance into the board gaming end of the business this year with the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Pathfinder pretty much has anything you could want in an RPG-style card game and then some. I think Pathfinder was my most-played game of 2013.”
– No High Scores
The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game was also included on the Best of 2013 lists by All Us Geeks, Maximum Pixelation, and GeekMom, among others.
The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game (PACG), created by Mike Selinker and Lone Shark Games, translates the world’s best-selling Pathfinder Roleplaying Game (RPG) into an entirely new breed of card game, where players adventure, battle monsters and villains, and acquire new feats, items, weapons, and allies – all without a Game Master. The first game, PACG: Rise of the Runelords, made its debut at Gen Con Indy 2013, where it sold out in the first four hours. The follow up, Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Skull & Shackles, based on the pirate-themed Pathfinder RPG Adventure Path, is currently in playtesting, and is scheduled for release at Gen Con Indy 2014.
