Duel for Cardia: Guardians of the Wild

About this expansion

Duel for Cardia: Guardians of the Wild is a two-player game released in 2026, where the conflict over Cardia awakens mythical guardians. These powerful creatures bring a new tactical layer to the struggle between the factions.

Every second round, players encounter a guardian. Each guardian grants its power to only one faction, creating a crucial opportunity for the player who can meet its requirement.

• Encounter a mythical guardian every second round.
• Play a card with the matching faction on the guardian to trigger its ability.
• Use guardian powers to change the current encounter or encounters already played.

The central decision is knowing when a guardian can make the greatest difference. A successfully triggered ability may dramatically alter the encounter in progress, or reach back to affect earlier encounters, making each guardian a potential turning point.

Because the guardians’ powers belong to specific factions, players must watch for the right opportunity and use their cards with care. The result is an engaging tactical contest in which a single guardian can reshape the developing conflict.

Guardians of the Wild adds an exciting new dimension to Duel for Cardia without losing focus on the faction struggle. If you enjoy tactical decisions and dramatic changes to encounters already played, this two-player Cardia game puts mythical powers at the heart of the contest.
