Ruins

Craft unique, transparent cards in this shedding game where you uncover ancient ruins and find treasure!

On your turn, upgrade a card and play it. Upgrades can stack into wild, game-altering combinations (like a card that equals four 11’s!).

You only get to claim two cards for the entire game, so sometimes your discoveries will end up in the hands of your opponents. How will you construct the perfect combo?

Race to play your last card and score!

Explore your ruins with transparent cards
Spend torches to take a transparent "Discovery" upgrade from the market, adding it to one of your cards. Each Ruin card can take up to three Discoveries, which modify rank, increase card count, or give special abilities.

Play sets from hand
Play sets of cards of the same value, trying to go out (empty your hand) faster than your opponents. When following, you must play the same number of cards as the previous player of equal or higher rank.

Activate special powers
Some Discoveries provide new bonus actions that you may take once per turn. These actions let you re-light torches, make opponents draw, or allow you to take cards from the discard pile!
