Tides of Time
A tiny two-player drafting duel where you build a civilization one card at a time and deny your rival.
Who it's for
Couples or friends who want a compact two-player card game with real decisions. Great as a quick duel that doesn't need a big table.
Not for you ifβ¦
You need more than two players or lots of table action. It's a quiet, abstract duel with little theme beyond the flavour.
Vibe's take
Cerebral and tidy. Each pass is a small dilemma: take the card that helps you or the one that would help your opponent. The scores come out close, and the relics add a satisfying thread across rounds.
About this game
Tides of Time is a card-drafting duel for two, in which you lead an ancient civilization through its rise and fall. Over three rounds you and your opponent pass a small hand back and forth, each time keeping one card for your kingdom and handing the rest on. Every card belongs to one of five suits and carries its own scoring condition, so you are always asking whether to chase a suit or a combo. At the end of each round you tally points, and you can keep one card as a relic of the past that helps you in later rounds. It is small, tidy and quick, a cerebral little contest that fits in a coat pocket and fits a coffee break.
