Aetherium Clash
Read full descriptionHide full description
Aetherium Clash is a tactical card game built around one idea: play a card to the 3ร3 grid, beat the number on an adjacent enemy card, and flip it to your side. When the board fills, whoever owns more cards wins. You'll learn it in a single match and still be finding new lines a hundred matches later. Most of the game is yours alone. A STORY CAMPAIGN Fight across distinct worlds, each with its own map of encounters and a boss holding the road forward. Beat the boss, open the next world. THE GAUNTLET A roster of AI challengers, each with a real deck and a style you have to actually solve โ not difficulty sliders, opponents. A COLLECTION WORTH BUILDING 110 cards across four rarities, in a painted JRPG style. Earn packs by playing, disenchant duplicates into shards, and tune decks around what you've actually got. NO POP-UP ADS. NO IN-APP PURCHASES. NO ENERGY TIMERS. Nothing is sold to you. There is no second currency behind a paywall and nothing runs out while you wait. No ad ever interrupts a match โ the only ones in the game are optional videos you can choose to watch for extra Shards, and you can ignore them forever. AND WHEN YOU WANT A HUMAN Ranked quick match against other players, or a private duel with a friend by code or QR scan. Trade cards with other players in the marketplace. Entirely optional โ the campaign and the Gauntlet never ask you to go online for a match.

Goblins & Gunslingers
Read full descriptionHide full description
The frontier has room for one Sheriff. Everyone else brought a deck. Goblins & Gunslingers is a tactical western-fantasy card duel where faction decks collide across a lane-based battlefield. Build your posse, spend Gold and Mana, recruit Deputies, uncover hidden High-Rise positions, and protect your Sheriff through turn-based battles. BUILD YOUR POSSE Combine Goblins, Humans, Gnomes, Golems, Dwarves, Desert Devils, Straw Elves, and Beast allies. Each faction brings different cards, equipment, spells, and play styles, and every deck is yours to tune. CONTROL THE FRONTIER Fight for five central lanes while watching two concealed High-Rise positions. Take Cover, time your attacks, summon Deputies, and turn each card into part of a larger plan. TURN GNOMES INTO GOLEMS Gnome tinkerers are Flip-Charged. Commit a spell and they transform into towering Golems until your opponent answers back. It is the game's signature trick, and building around it changes how a whole deck plays. PLAY OFFLINE Learn the rules in the opening tutorial, duel three grades of AI opponent from Greenhorn to Legend, build decks, manage your collection, and open packs โ with no account and no connection required. Sign in and your collection follows you between devices. HAND-DRAWN WESTERN FANTASY The cards combine ink-sketch character art with a weathered frontier table and an unusual mix of goblins, gunslingers, machinery, magic, and monsters. Universal for iPhone and iPad. Goblins & Gunslingers is independently created in Bozeman, Montana.
