Circadia

About this board game

Circadia is a competitive card game for 2–5 players, with a play time of about 30 minutes. In this 2026 game, you become a Guide of the Dreaming Paths, working to restore balance to a world shaped by Day, Night, habitats, and guardian spirits.

The Winged Bear, Rooted Axolotl, and Cloud Goose must be led back to their domains. To help them return, you will weave the powers of Spirit Creature cards into harmonious gatherings, competing with the other Guides to create the most valuable sets.

On your turn, play Spirit Creature cards to form powerful combinations. The stronger your set, the more valuable the Habitat you can claim, bringing you closer to victory through the Balance points awarded by Habitat cards.

• Play Spirit Creature cards to create powerful sets.
• Claim Habitats and earn Balance points.
• Manage your hand carefully and plan harmonious sequences of Day and Night cards.
• Race to build the most balance across Circadia.

Every decision contributes to the restoration of the world’s rhythm. Carefully manage your hand and coordinate your sets as you seek to reconnect the Spirit Creatures with their Habitats.

When one Guide reaches 15 Balance points, the game moves into one final round. After that last chance to improve your score, the Guide with the most Balance points wins and is remembered as the Keeper of the Eternal Cycle.

With its evocative setting and focused card-play system, Circadia challenges players to find harmony in every gathering while pursuing the greatest balance.
