Will this product contain spoilers for the RotRL paths?

I recently gave a friend who is interested in GMing the Rise of the Rune Lords adventure path collection book, so that he could easily jump into GMing a good campaign with little assembly required, haha.

But I am very interested in getting this Card Game, and would just like to know if this card game shares the story of the RotRL adventure paths and if us playing this card game would spoil any big parts of the RotRL story.

The card game follows the basic storyline of the AP. That most directly manifests in the flavor text (which can easily be avoided) on the story cards, but it also manifests in the cards that represent locations, villains, henchmen, monsters, items, allies, and other things. You can't play the game without learning *something* about all of those things.

But I don't personally think that experiencing either one before the other makes anything less fun. (You will need to trust your players not to bring in out-of-game knowledge to their RPG sessions... and there will be things that they might *think* they know from the card game that won't be true in the RPG, and vice versa.)
