Frontiers of the Realms
SteamClaim your legacy in Frontiers of the Realms. This turn-based strategy game blends 4X exploration with tactical deckbuilding. Build your settlements and manage resources, but beware: the cards you play to gain resources often grant them to your opponents as well. Will you conquer the borderlands through economic dominance or military might?
In Frontiers of the Realms, you take on the role of a young noble stepping out of the shadows of your ancestors. You have set out to claim your own territory in the "Frontiers"—a wild, uninhabited region nestled between rival kingdoms. Your goal is to establish a thriving realm, gather resources, and outwit rival lords in a battle for dominance.
Before the game begins, victory is planned in the Deck Builder. You don't just wait for dice to roll; you choose which cards you bring into the match. Will you focus on a deck heavy with "Forestry Work" to rush early construction? Or will you pack your deck with aggressive military cards to catch your opponent off guard? Customizing your deck is the first step toward ruling the realm.

The core of the game is its turn-based card system. You use cards to gather resources, boost your production or assemble your troops. However, there is a catch: most cards affect ALL players.
If you play a "Slaughter" card to gain Sheep based on your settlements, your opponents might profit from it too. This creates a deep layer of strategy. You must time your moves carefully—play your cards when they benefit you the most, or when your opponents' warehouses are too full to profit from your actions.

The world is laid out on a classic hexagonal grid. You must send out scouts to reveal the terrain and find the perfect location for your first settlement.


There is no single way to rule the Frontiers. Whether you are playing against the AI or challenging other players, you must adapt your playstyle to the situation.

The borderlands are waiting. Are you ready to forge your legacy?
