About This Game

In Cards of Bellum, every card tells a story—and every battle hangs by a thread.

Cards of Bellum is a War-inspired roguelike deck builder. Lead your poor army of rebels, unlock powerful heroes, counter suits, and unleash spells in your quest to overthrow the evil king and claim victory.

🔮 LEAD RULE-BREAKING HEROES

• Wizards duel by elemental mastery (Fire beats Death, Water beats Fire)

• Assassins strike randomly from the shadows

• Kings can reverse defeat

• Thieves steal your opponent's best cards, or a named hero unleashes special abilities

Use your cards wisely — a wasted hero can mean the difference between victory and defeat.

⚔️ MASTER SUITED COMBAT

Swords beat Spears. Spears beat Horse. Horse beats Shields. Shields beat Swords. But when strength is close, roll the dice and a lucky 4 could save you.

🏰 STORM THE CAPITAL

Face-down defenses hide your opponent's true strength. Attack when ready, or recruit more troops. Every decision matters.

🗺️ RANDOM MAPS & STORY

When you're ready, fight across a randomized campaign map, unlocking hidden cards and heroes as you progress against an evermore challenging enemy. You'll need every edge to beat the final king and claim victory.

🃏 60+ UNIQUE CARDS

From numbered troops to Knights, Queens, Kings, Wizards, Thieves, and more. Build your strategy. Find your combos. Claim victory.

The throne awaits. So does the axe.
