Epic Card Game
A trading-card-style fantasy duel in one box, where you play the card you want, not the one you can afford.
Who it's for
You like Magic-style duels but don't want a collection habit. Ideal for two players who enjoy fantasy card battles.
Not for you if…
You dislike direct attacking, take-that or being eliminated. Multi-player games turn chaotic, so head-to-head works best.
Vibe's take
Fast, punchy and interactive. You always have something to play, so the thinking is about which champion or event swings the fight. It feels like a duel, not a puzzle.
About this game
Epic Card Game is a fantasy duel that tries to give you the feel of a trading card game from one box, without chasing booster packs. You play an elder god commanding champions and spells. You start with five cards, earn one gold each turn, and every card costs one gold or nothing, so you decide which card you want to play, not which you can afford. Champions attack the opponent's champions, events twist the fight, and your own deck is a mix of what you drafted at the start. Games are quick, the turns are easy to follow, and the decisions bite. A good pick for two, with up to four if you don't mind the free-for-all.
