About This Game

Build your deck. Plan your formation. Take the fight to the court.

Cardmarch is a single-player tactical card battler set in a storybook world of animal characters. Your cards become units on a 6 × 6 battlefield, where movement, attack patterns and the space between allies can decide a fight. Assemble a 25-card Battle Set, combine units with spells and structures, and find a way through to the enemy leader.

A strong card still needs a clear shot. Move allies into range, guard a vulnerable lane, or work around an enemy’s defences. Spend your limited Command carefully as each turn moves through deployment, healing, movement and attack.

Cast Firebolt to finish a dangerous enemy, reveal hidden units with a Lantern Post, or turn a Powder Keg into an opportunity. Each hero also has a special power to use once per battle. Choose the moment when it can change the fight.

Begin as Tessa Threadfoot, a courier determined to deliver letters the court would rather ignore. Unlock Merrit Reedglass, Oren Bellgrave, Nyra Duskwind, Pella Bracken and Sir Rollo through campaign and Skirmish milestones.

Follow each hero’s personal story through illustrated opening scenes, conversations with opponents, journeys between regions and a distinct ending. Withheld medicine, missing loved ones and broken promises lead them towards the same court, but each arrives with a different question to ask.

Travel from rain-soaked streets through the marsh, crypts, rooftops and enchanted woodland to the Gothic Court. The campaign spans 36 battles, with a boss waiting at the end of each region. New opponents bring different decks, powers and tactics to overcome.

Between battles, visit the merchant, inspect new cards and decide where to spend your gold. Buy reinforcements, sell cards you no longer need, and rebuild your Battle Set for the challenges ahead.

Inspired by classic 1990s animated adventures, Cardmarch pairs expressive animal characters and bold outlines with richly coloured settings. Illustrated scenes follow your hero between battles and bring their journey to a personal close.
