Shards of Creation

About this board game

Shards of Creation is a 30-minute trick-taking game for 2–4 players, set in Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere. Designed for players of all skill levels, it puts the primal forces of the Cosmere at the center of every game.

Each Shard represents an aspect of divinity and forms an entirely unique suit. The eight Shards are Autonomy, Cultivation, Devotion, Dominion, Honor, Odium, Preservation, and Ruin. Their distinct values and abilities give each suit its own identity and influence how you approach the game.

Will you concentrate on one Shard’s influence, or seek victory by forging a coalition of Shards? Shards of Creation invites you to consider both approaches as you navigate its changing combination of powers.

• Players: 2–4
• Play time: 30 minutes
• Core mechanic: Trick-taking
• Setting: Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere

Every game uses a different combination of Shards, helping make each session a new experience. The varied suits, values, and abilities provide a changing tactical landscape without losing the approachable foundation of trick-taking play.

Whether you favor the focused influence of a single Shard or the combined strength of several, Shards of Creation offers a fresh take on the genre. Gather your group and discover which divine forces will shape your next game.
