Sorcery: Contested Realm – draft

An « old school » fantasy card game where two players take the roles of Avatars, assemble their own decks, and then cast a variety of elemental spells, summon powerful minions, and shape the world around them from their Atlas to increase their dominance and ultimately banish their foe.

Sorcery: Contested Realm is played on a 5 x 4 grid that represents « The Realm », and each player increases their territory by playing cards from their customized Atlas Deck. These sites are in turn populated with minions to strategically defend your sites and attack those of your opponent.

Each Avatar invokes the power of the four elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind) by playing cards from their Spellbook which contains elemental Spells, fantastical Minions, persistent Auras, and even rare Relics which can turn the tide of battle.

Sorcery: Contested Realm is a retro card game with modern design sensibilities. We have lovingly crafted each card using a “top-down” design where the name, art, and rules are clear, memorable and designed to give you flavor chills. While the cards are simple and intuitive, the interactions they create on the playing field lead to dynamic and deep gameplay.

While minions and spells are the primary means of aggression, sites themselves can have powerful effects on the game. A Maelström site played at the right moment can cause seismic disarray among your opponent’s minions, while the Cloud City can silently drift right past their defenses.
