Character cards featuring the story's main heroes and villains can be used to shake up the gameplay, applying their special abilities to gain an edge. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, The Golden Compass is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for fans of the movie and fantasy enthusiasts alike.
