About the Game

Black Horizon: Armada is a digital deck-building strategy game set in an original sci-fi universe. There is no pre-game deck building—strategy emerges entirely during battle. Every decision matters, forcing you to adapt, improvise, and outthink your opponent in real time.

Each match takes place across three randomly selected planets, each acting as a strategic lane. Planets have unique effects and offer exclusive cards that can only be acquired while fighting there, forcing players to rethink positioning, timing, and resource management every game.

Cards are discovered through play. As you encounter new ships, stations, and actions, they are permanently unlocked in your Gallery, growing your collection and revealing new synergies and strategies over time.

Your deck is constructed dynamically during each match, shaped by the planets in play and the cards you choose to pursue. Every decision matters, and no two decks—or matches—are ever the same.

Random planet selection, planet-specific rules, exclusive card pools, and dynamic deck building combine to create trillions of possible matchups. Planet synergies can dramatically change how the game plays, delivering endless strategic depth and replayability.
