AETHERMERE

Ancient magic was sealed into cards. The Emperor of the Valdric Empire took every one of them.

You carry six worn cards left by your exiled grandfather. From a dusty tavern at the edge of the world, you set out to win them back — one duel at a time.

The rule takes thirty seconds

Cards carry a number on each of their four edges. Place a card so that its edge beats the edge facing it, and the opposing card flips to your side. That's the whole rule. Reading the board is what takes a lifetime.
