The '''Pathfinder Adventure Card Game''' is a cooperative card game for 1 to 6 players produced in conjunction with [[Lone Shark Games]]. As players explore and overcome challenges, they improve and customize their character deck by acquiring new items, allies, weapons, and more. Bimonthly 110-card Adventure Decks extend the storyline that begins in the nearly 500-card Base Set box.
