A new deckbuilding tabletop game based on Brandon Sanderson’s popular Mistborn Saga book series is now available to purchase at Amazon for $43 at Amazon. Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game is designed for 1-4 players and includes everything you need to play right in the box, making this a great choice for fans who want to engage with the fantasy universe in a new way.
$42.86 (was $45)
Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game was created by card game designer John D. Clair and published by Brotherwise Games. This is a standalone deck-building game, meaning every card is included in the box, with each card based on characters, items, and other concepts from the Mistborn novels. Each player builds their own decks from the included cards using a point-based “purchase” system, and gameplay revolves around a resource-management “Burn” mechanic themed after the metal-based Allomancy magic from the series. The game offers three modes of play, including head-to-head competitive multiplayer, as well as solo and co-op modes where the players battle against Luthadel City’s Lord Ruler and his Steel Inquisitors. Each mode tasks players with completing a series of missions to win, and matches last around 45 minutes.
Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game
While Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game is the latest official tabletop game based on Sanderson’s work from Brotherwise Games, it’s not the only one. A standalone expansion for the Call to Adventure card game based on The Stormlight Archive series is also available. This is another all-in-one, quest-based card game that features 120 cards and unique rules based on The Stormlight Archives series. Players start the game by picking Character cards that have unique abilities and goals, and modify them with new traits as each match progresses. The game supports 1-4 players and has rules for solo, co-op, and competitive play.
Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive can be purchased and played standalone or combined with the original Call to Adventure base game. There are also additional expansion sets available if you want to add even more cards and mechanics to the game.
Call To Adventure Tabletop Game
If you’re looking for even more card games, Brotherwise Games also recently launched a new edition of its video-game-inspired Boss Monster card game wherein players craft their own dungeons to thwart NPC adventurers. Super Boss Monster retains the fast-paced loop of the original while adding new systems such as card drafting and support for solo players. It’s also compatible with all original Boss Monster sets and expansions. As the name suggests, Super Boss Monster pays homage to the SNES and is even packaged in a Super Nintendo-style cartridge box. The original Boss Monster core sets have NES-inspired boxes, and the budget-friendly expansions use Game Boy-style boxes.
Mistborn: The Original Trilogy
The tabletop games set in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere universe can be played and enjoyed without reading either series–Mistborn or Stormlight Archive–but naturally existing fans will appreciate some of the details and references found in the games. If you’re interested in checking out either of Sanderson’s bestselling series of adult fantasy novels, we’ve rounded up some deals below on box sets, hardcover editions, and paperbacks.
The Mistborn Saga Box Sets
For newcomers, Mistborn is generally considered more approachable than Stormlight. Sanderson’s Mistborn saga currently has seven novels. The first trilogy of novels fall within the epic and urban fantasy genres, but they are also heist novels with a heavy emphasis on political intrigue and a creative magic system. The second trilogy, Wax and Wayne, takes place three centuries after the third novel and could aptly be described as character-driven crime novels that take place in a fantasy world. The Lost Metal, Book 7 in the overarching saga and the first book in the new sequence, incorporates sci-fi and steampunk trappings and features technology from the ’80s and ’90s.

The Stormlight Archive hardcover editions
The Stormlight Archive, meanwhile, is a more traditional epic fantasy series with huge ensemble casts and a plethora of narrative threads. Fans of Game of Thrones and Wheel of Time should definitely check out the Stormlight Archive novels. Each of the five mainline books is a doorstopper. The fifth book in the series, Wind and Truth, released late last year to critical acclaim and commercial success. Wind and Truth is the longest book in the series at 1,344 pages. You can get a hardcover box set with the first four Stormlight Archive novels for 50% off at Amazon. For a more budget-friendly option, check out the Stormlight paperback box set featuring the first three books for $25.
The Stormlight Archive (Hardcover)
Sanderson has also released a number of standalone books set in the Cosmere, the vast universe that’s home to both Stormlight and Mistborn. Three of the four current Secret Projects books–the most successful Kickstarter campaign ever–are set in the Cosmere. The fifth Secret Project book, Isles of the Emberdark, is also set in the Cosmere and releases February 3, 2026.
