About this board game

Fantasy Realms is a combo-focused card game for 2–6 players that plays in about 20 minutes. As ruler, you must assemble the mightiest realm by combining cards into the highest-scoring hand possible.

Each turn is easy to learn: draw one card, then discard one card. You can draw from the deck or choose from the discard area, creating opportunities to claim useful cards while denying them to your opponents. Every choice helps shape a different realm.

Build your strategy around the combinations available to you. You might pursue military tactics and sweep away everything in your path with a massive army, or turn to sorcery and control an inaccessible island surrounded by impenetrable flames. The possibilities make every hand distinct.

  • Simple draw-and-discard gameplay
  • Cards available from both the deck and discard area
  • Combo-building and hand optimization
  • Games end when ten cards are in the discard area
  • Designed for 2–6 players and approximately 20 minutes

Keep adapting as the available cards change, balancing immediate gains against the combinations you hope to complete. The game ends as soon as the discard area contains ten cards, and the player with the highest score wins.

Fantasy Realms also has a scoring helper through the WizKids Games Companion. After the game, enter your cards into the app to instantly see who won, or use its handy lookup for all cards. The companion is available on iOS and Google Play.
