Description

In the world of Algomancy, you're an Algomancer on a mission to dominate an AI simulation by manipulating its source code. With this power, you can cast spells, summon armies, and upgrade game objects to give yourself an edge. Your goal is to outmaneuver your opponents and be the last one standing. This game is all about strategy and adaptability, as you'll need to think on your feet to outwit your foes. Whether you're playing with a small group of friends or a large crowd of up to 10 players, Algomancy has got you covered with its flexible gameplay modes. With multiple ways to play, you can choose the style that suits you best. You can draft your hand from a communal deck during the game, allowing you to pivot your strategy as needed. Alternatively, you can pre-draft a constructed deck before the game begins, or even build a deck from the card pool to challenge other players. If you're playing with a large group, you can team up with friends to create a group deck and take on other teams. With playtimes ranging from 30 to 180 minutes, you can fit in a quick game or embark on a longer, more epic battle. Published in 2025 by game designer Caleb Gannon, Algomancy is a thrilling card game that combines elements of fantasy and science fiction for a unique gaming experience.
