Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Draconis 8 is both a digital and physical card game. While we're preparing to manufacture the physical cards, we're also working on finishing the digital play experience.
That's where you come in!
  • Play PVP online against other players
  • Test the single-player campaign
  • Join our Discord community and provide feedback on the rules and on the play experience

Here are some game features that we're just starting to develop. We'd love your feedback!
  • Player and card cosmetics
  • In-app tournaments

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that Draconis 8 will be in Early Access for at least six months.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“Physical Draconis 8 card packs have not been printed yet, and are not available in Early Access.

Once those packs are printed and the full version is released, you will be able to purchase a physical pack of cards and then use a web-cam to scan the pack and add an exact digital copy of the pack to your digital Draconis 8 collection.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Game modes for both real-time and asynchronous online PVP play:
  • Single Pack
  • Constructed
  • Three-pack Etherial (cards are created for the match, and don't come from your collection)

Other features available now:
  • One single-player campaign
  • Daily-play rewards in the form of in-game currencies to collect
  • Collection-management system and deck-building tool

Important notes:
  • Digital card packs will be reset at the end of Early Access, but the quantity of packs that you gain will persist. For example, if you purchase three digital packs during Early Access, you will exchange those three packs for three new packs (with all new cards) when we release the full app to the public.
  • In-game currencies that you collect will carry over to the full version.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Draconis 8 is free to play, but we will be offering digital card packs for sale. We're not planning to change the prices between Early Access and full release.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We currently have an active community of Draconis 8 beta testers in our Discord server, and we're looking forward to inviting in new players! Come share your ideas today!”

About This Game

Unique Decks • Tactical Duels • Compact Strategy

What is Draconis 8?

With iron, heart, scales, deadly breath weapons, and unmatched intelligence, dragons reign supreme. But when disputes arise between these mighty rulers, they are not settled by armies… but by the Draconis 8.

Each dragon gathers a warband — themselves and seven legendary champions — to battle another dragon’s team. These duels decide the fate of empires, played through a fast-paced, deeply strategic card game.

8-Card Decks

Every duel begins with a lean but powerful force: one mighty Dragonseven Champions, and a neutral Terrain card that sets the stage.

This compact design means there's no wasted space — every card has weight, and every decision matters. Your Dragon is your ace, boasting multiple abilities and devastating stats, but the Champions you surround it with will determine how battles unfold.

Your deck might pair a fearsome Red Dragon with orc warriors, elven archers, and a sly goblin trickster — each one contributing a unique way to score or disrupt.

Simultaneous Play

Unlike most card games where players alternate turns, some parts of Draconis 8 is played in real-time mind games. Both players draw, then secretly choose a card to play. When revealed, the card with higher initiative earns a point and resolves first.

This keeps the pace brisk and tense: you're always thinking ahead, bluffing, and trying to predict your rival's next move.

Will your opponent commit their Dragon early for raw power, or hold it back for a decisive late strike? Do you counter with a solid Champion… or risk everything on a bold play?

Tactical Positioning

Cards don't just hit the table — where you place them is just as important as what you play. Each card you add connects to the growing battlefield, scoring when adjacent to foes. Initiative determines first placement, but positioning unlocks deep tactical layers: block off scoring lines, rotate enemies, or create chains of allies that amplify one another's abilities.

Your Champion of Fear rotates an enemy Paladin just enough that their strong side no longer scores points — swinging the round in your favor.

Unique Abilities

Every card carries a special ability that warps the rules in your favor or sabotages your foe. Dragons often wield multiple powers, but even humble Champions can deliver game-changing effects. Some bend the battlefield (rotating, swapping, shielding), others manipulate scoring (stealing, multiplying, or redirecting points). Combined, they create endless tactical puzzles — and no two decks play the same.

A stealthy Rogue Champion lets you sneak victory beads from one card to another, while your Dragon unleashes a devastating ability that clears a row of enemies.

Victory in 7 Rounds

The battle is short, sharp, and conclusive: after seven rounds of simultaneous duels, the player with the most victory points claims the match. No endless grind, no drawn-out stalemates — just pure, focused strategy packed into 15–30 minutes.

You're tied in points after round six. In the final round, your Dragon enters the field and tips the balance, claiming the decisive victory. Glory is yours.
