About

Terminus Lumière

Read full description

A soft darkness has swallowed the Whisperwood. To save the last spark of forest light — the Everglow Lantern — brave woodland animals loaded it onto an old steam train. But predator Prowlers slip aboard the lowest deck and scramble upward to snuff it out. You're the conductor. Can you keep the Lantern lit? Terminus Lumière is a cozy roguelike deckbuilder, built for mobile and playable one-handed. Each turn, place your animal cards across three stacked train decks and cast forest tricks to stop the Prowlers before they reach the Lantern. Every run is different: grow your deck by drafting new cards, and chain short, clever decisions. COZY OUTSIDE, CRUNCHY INSIDE Behind the adorable art, combat is a genuine puzzle of placement and order of operations. Three decks, one Lantern to protect: where does this guard go? When do you strike? No hidden information, no cheap spikes — just good decisions. ONE THUMB, ONE MINUTE Portrait, one hand, a wave that ends cleanly whenever you want. Great for a quick round on the train, or a long evening. THREE WAYS TO RIDE • Boss Challenges — six escalating runs, each ending in a boss with real personality. Beat one to unlock the next. • Endless Ride — no destination: go as far as you can and beat your best wave. Toggle mutators to raise the stakes. • Daily Ride — one shared seed each day, with a 14-day history board. DEPTH IN EVERY RUN • Over 100 cards: animals to place and tricks to cast. • Card drafts, card removal, campfire upgrades, artifacts, and permanent buffs. • A cast of adorable animals: mouse scout, beaver builder, owl sentinel, elk guardian, bear bruiser… plus rare, radiant special cards. GENTLE FOR EVERYONE No violent imagery: tired friends "run off to rest," Prowlers "poof into sparkles," and villains are grumpy, not cruel. Perfect from ages 4-9 up, and safe to hand to a child. RESPECTFUL OF YOU • Completely free. No ads. No in-app purchases. • No accounts, no sign-up, no tracking. No data collected. • Works fully offline, anywhere. TRILINGUAL English, French, and Arabic, with an in-app language picker. Arabic is fully right-to-left. Climb aboard, play your cards, and keep the Lantern lit. How far will the train ride?
