Dolven: Runes Gambit is a casual strategy card game that blends tactical decision-making with a touch of luck.

Players draw cards, manage mana, and deploy Characters to control the battlefield. Combat duals are determined by combining rune power with dice rolls, adding an unpredictable twist. When an opponent’s defenses fall, ie when all characters have been defeated from the battlefield, players can then strike directly at the opponent’s life points. The first to reduce their opponent's life points to zero wins the game.

We wanted to make a card battler that was not too complicated. The cards are designed to be easy to understand with card battles that were shorter than the traditional long haul games. The matches can take between 20 - 40 minutes making it the perfect casual card battler.

If you don’t have dice and mana, you can use our free online components with any mobile phone, laptop or computer.
