Tessera

A card duel that plays like a puzzle. Two heroes, five creature slots each. Ten minutes, one thumb.

How it plays

Easy to play. Hard to put down.

Tessera takes the deckbuilding of the classic card games and the evolution lines you grew up with, and gives the concepts enough of a twist to make it feel fresh and new.

I

Spend your Dots

Your mana is a row of colored Dots. Play one a turn, they are spent as you play cards onto the board.

II

Evolve your creatures

Play a Basic, then grow it into a Stage 1 and a Stage 2. Each stage hits harder and has more powerful effects.

III

Attack and block

Send your units at the enemy hero. Your opponent chooses blockers with a single tap. First to take their opponents health to zero, wins.

Evolution lines

From seed to bloom

Build your decks around poweful creature lines. Look for crazy synergies and creative play utilizing the over 300 cards included in the game.

Four colors, eight heroes

Pick two. Build your way.

Decks use up to two colors and one hero. Your hero is your life total and a once-a-turn power you can overcharge when it counts.

Ember

Fast and reckless. Burn, rush and big swings that end games early.

Cinder, Ember heroKestrel, Ember hero

Tide

Patient and slippery. Freeze, bounce and draw until the wave breaks.

Marin, Tide heroNeap, Tide hero

Bloom

Grow wide and grow tall. Extra Dots, healing and a board full of sprigs.

Sol, Bloom heroRowan, Bloom hero

Dusk

Every price is worth paying. Drain, sacrifice and bring back the fallen.

Ash cards are colorless tools like search, draw and sturdy constructs that fit into any deck.

Full art illustrations cards
