Written by Gary on February 10, 2026
Familiars… your caster needs you.
On April 7th, a brand-new card game arrives from Darrington Press in the world of Exandria™: A Familiar Find — a charming, fast-paced, and strategic adventure where you step into the paws, claws, and wings of a loyal animal companion charged with an important mission.
Across every corner of Exandria, magic is brewing. Powerful spellcasters are searching for rare ingredients, and you’re the one they are putting their trust in to find them. In A Familiar Find, you’ll race through ever-shifting magical locations, gather the components your caster needs, and try to stay one step ahead of rival familiars who are determined to sabotage you. And they are not going to fight fair.
They’ll set traps. They’ll call your bluff. They’ll try to evade your strategy.
To win, you’ll have to be just as crafty. Hide your intentions, choose the perfect moment to reveal ingredients, and outplay your opponents when it counts. With fast rounds, easy-to-learn rules, and a deck full of magical surprises, every game of A Familiar Find feels fresh and wildly magical.
