Low Chicago

A high-stakes poker game in 1920s Chicago erupts in a time-bending catastrophe, scattering criminal masterminds across the past in this thrilling new Wild Cards adventure.

The stakes were already high enough at Giovanni Galante's poker table that night in Chicago. Poker. Dealer's choice. Seven players. A million-dollar cash buy-in.

But after a superpowered mishap, the most high-profile criminals in the city are scattered throughout the past and their schemes across time threaten the stability of the world.
