Nine civilizations. One board. One goal.
Deck of Dynasties is a turn-based card battler in which nine civilizations send their greatest historical figures into battle. Every match is a fight over slots - and the only way to win is to kill your rival's leader.
You fight over the board, not over numbers:Deploy your figures to the front line, then spend Action Points to attack, advance, retreat or retake ground. Damage is attack minus defense, and it never heals between turns - so a single exchange can decide the rest of the match. Kill an enemy and your figure walks straight into their slot and holds it. Take the board, and you take the game.
Build your 45:
Collect 111 cards from the 333-card base set, then choose 45 of them to take into battle.
There are nine classes: leader, scientist, philosopher, strategist, engineer, physician, educator, economist and citizen.
Every player gets identical class quotas, so matches are decided by which figures you pick and how you play them, not by who drew better.
Depth, not luck:
Four stats decide every exchange: attack, health, defense and action cost.
Class counters run in a three-way loop, adding a layer of prediction, while nemesis matchups make certain duels swing hard.
Your leader also brings a national trait that empowers figures from the same civilization.
Match online, or duel your friends:Hit search and the game finds you an opponent - both players ready up, a five-second countdown runs, and a draw decides who moves first. Prefer a friendly game? Invite a Steam friend straight into a match in one click. No lobbies, no port forwarding. Both sides are verified with a state hash, so matches stay in sync.
Fight across the world:Set the stage for every duel with table themes drawn from the real landmarks of the nine civilizations - the Great Wall, Mount Fuji, the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and more. Nine national opening themes and a 34-track original score carry each match from the first move to the final kill.
