The games title and plot are inspired by the Biblical story of the Binding of Isaac. The base game, available for a starting pledge of $25, comes with a rulebook, the four character cards and their four accompanying starting item cards. The Binding of Isaac is an indie roguelike video game designed by Edmund McMillen and Florian Himsl, initially released in 2011 for Microsoft Windows the game was later ported for OS X, and Linux operating systems. This is where the ‘semi-cooperative’ element of the game comes in as, inevitably, players will begin to turn on each other in their race to collect the necessary souls to win. The first player to collect four souls wins the game. In the early stages of the game, you work together to develop your skills and strength to defeat monsters and earn souls. The game is designed to be played by two to four players and is semi-cooperative. Like their digital counterparts, each one starts with their own unique starting item and ability.
