About the Game

Cardness is a card survival game where you stack cards to gather, craft and build a camp, then defend it when night falls.

For example, give a Villager an Axe and it goes to chop the nearest Tree. Put the Wood on a Workbench and you get Planks.

The Night


At dusk, a horn tells you where the void will strike. Plant Stakes, post a Villager in the Watchtower, and beat the wave to the last creature to earn its reward. Each night, the wave grows.

Combat


Villagers fight on their own. When they pin down an armored Void Brute, its weak point opens: slash it right then for triple damage.

Features


  • 100+ cards to discover
  • 75+ recipes to craft
  • 50+ quests in 3 chapters
  • 16 pickaxes to forge from 4 materials
  • 3 ages: Stone, Iron and Gold

Make Your Own


Every card, recipe and quest is a file you can edit. The editor comes with the game: change a card, save, and it changes in your running game.
