About The Game

The Realm is under attack by creatures from universes beyond. Monsters and strange entities emerge from mysterious portals, causing chaos and destruction.

In these dark times, only the Wickens offer hope. With their powerful sorcery and skill, they can destroy these creatures and protect The Realm.

However, their power comes at a cost.

A Wicken’s abilities come from those they slay. The evil that corrupts these creatures will inevitably corrupt the Wicken who killed it. Gaining too much power from beyond the portals will become the next danger to The Realm.

The only thing powerful enough to stop a Wicken are Wickens themselves.

A battle has begun across The Realm; a war between Wickens. Who will be the last Wicken standing?

The Starter Pack: Three Decks, Three Wickens

The aim of the game is to defeat all other Wicken opponents, whilst also fighting against creatures from your Realm who attack you. 

Players start with weak cards, but will gain more powerful cards from the creatures they kill. 

Deal damage to your opponents - once a player reaches zero health, they lose and are out of the game. 

Over the course of the game, players will use their new abilities to create powerful decks and card combos. 

Defend and deal damage until you are the last Wicken standing.
