Cardness
SteamCardness is a card-based sandbox combining incremental gameplay, automation, and real-time strategy. Recruit villagers, build an army, gather resources, and develop machines using your magic. Your ultimate goal: destroy the Cardness, a mysterious force that threatens your world.


Every element in the game is represented as a card: units, resources, machines, equipment… With hundreds of unique cards, explore a rich universe and discover unexpected interactions to optimize your empire.






In the vastness of the cosmos, you are an Astral Spirit, an entity born before time itself. But a mysterious force has emerged: the Cardness, a cosmic plague that turns everything it touches into cards, breaking the natural order of the universe. Worlds, living beings, raw materials—all are reduced to an artificial, fragile state.
Trapped in this distorted reality, you must turn the power of the Cardness against itself. Use its cards to gather resources, build an army, and create autonomous machines. Harness magic to break its limits, craft new combinations, and forge an empire strong enough to confront the entity that trapped you in this cosmic game.
Your goal is clear: destroy the Cardness and restore the natural order of the multiverse. But be warned… the more you use it, the stronger it becomes.
