The game

An adventure where your deck is your sword

In Iron Hand you cross the Kingdom of Solaria alongside Cael and Lira. Forests, caves, ruins and castles lie ahead, and at every stop a different enemy is waiting for you.

Battles are turn-based: you build combos from the cards in your hand, the monster strikes back, and whoever takes better care of their health moves on. Between fights, the story unfolds in illustrated scenes.

How to play

The journey

Much more than a hand of cards

How to play

Four rules to win

  1. Build combos

    Loose cards only deal 10 damage. A pair of 7s already deals 50; four cards with the same number, 500 at once.

  2. Discard at the right time

    You have a limited number of discards per battle. Swap what doesn't match and turn a weak hand into a brutal strike.

  3. Read your enemy

    Every monster has health, shield, attack and a special move. The coin next to its name counts the turns until it lands.

  4. Grow stronger

    Defeating epic monsters grants runes: bonuses that last the whole journey, in Power, Protection, Life Steal and Utility.

The cards

Five elements, fourteen numbers

The deck has 70 cards: each one carries a number from 1 to 14 and one of five elements. Matching numbers, sequences and cards of the same element form combos.
