Shardfall: why one blocker decides a match

Shardfall is a dark-fantasy TCG built for short sessions. 40-card decks, 25 health, and a resource system where wellsprings make Aether and every turn asks the same question: do you develop, deploy, or hold up a response?

The Chain

Rites and activated abilities create a Chain, so a match turns on the checkpoint where you answer, not on who drew better. One well-timed blocker, one resource conversion, or one Rite held back is often the whole game.

Five Dominions, five philosophies

Verdance grows, Pyre punishes hesitation, Tide trades tempo for information, Dawn protects the board, Gloom trades certainty for inevitability. The interesting decks are the hybrids.

The current Android build is single-player and offline-first: campaign, Skirmish, Daily Gauntlet, Arena draft, deckbuilding, collection and Forge.

If you have played: which Dominion clicked for you, and which keyword still needs better tap-and-hold explanation?
