  "account": "Every tabletop game based on Brandon Sanderson's Cosmic universe, known as the Cosmere, has been delighting fans since the publication of Elantris over two decades ago. Spanning over 20 books with more in development, the stories of Vin, Kaladin, and the Shards of Adonalsium have transcended the written word to reach the tabletop arena through various board games and tabletop roleplaying games. Brotherwise Games, the official partner of Sanderson's Cosmere in the board game space, has released a range of titles catering to diverse age groups of Cosmere fans.\n\nAmong these, Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive stands out as a board game system where players build their characters and draft cards to create their hero's journey. Another tabletop roleplaying game, the Cosmere RPG, allows players to immerse themselves in the world of Roshar, choosing from various races and roles like a knight radiant or a simple soldier. Mistborn: The Deck Building Game, based on the first book of the Mistborn series, The Final Empire, puts players in the roles of characters like Vin and Kelsier, utilizing metal burning magic to complete missions and outwit the Lord Ruler.\n\nShards of Creation, a lighter version of the main games, is a trick-taking card game that utilizes the powers of the Shards of Adonalsium, each with unique abilities that can help or hinder the players. Lastly, the Older Ones, released before Brotherwise's partnership with Sanderson, is a resource management game starring the factions of the first book, House War, where players compete to earn the most favor.",
