Gothic Horrors! Steampunk Heroes! Professor Pugnacious' Portfolio of Perils, Pugilism, and Perfidy, the card game of Victorian Combat, pits Steampunk Heroes against Gothic Horrors in a fight to be the greatest monster hunter in the world - both by defeating your adversaries, the creatures themselves, and by foiling your rivals. As one of Professor Pugnacious` prize pupils, you and your peers set out not merely to rid the world of the horrors that infect it, but to do so better than anyone else - whether that means sabotaging your classmate`s equipment, stealing another`s invention idea, or even forming alliances and working together to foil a more powerful rival.
