They're basically small, self-contained tales in their own right, being only loosely tied to a larger story about a conflict between the "empire" and the zombie-like blight. It's now a collection of over 20 "challenges” that gradually unlock over a three-dimensional board inside the Dealer's wagon. The structure of the story, for one, has been redesigned to better suit the deck-building aspect. Whether it's the artwork or the balance, virtually no element was left untouched.
