About this expansion

20 Strong: Cloudspire is a solo card game for 1 player, with approximately 40 minutes of play time, released in 2026. It distills Cloudspire’s epic battle system into a deck of cards, combining tactical tower defense with the strategic resource management twist of the 20 Strong system.

In this latest expansion to the 20 Strong series, the world of Ankar comes to life through a selection of Cloudspire factions and battlefield options. The deck features all 10 Cloudspire factions, along with a variety of spire, hero, and minion options, putting the setting’s tactical conflict in the palm of your hand.

Each turn, grafted enemies march toward you and threaten to deal damage to your hero. To hold them back, you can throw up spires that fire dice at enemies before they reach you. The timing and type of your defenses matter as you work to manage the threats advancing across the battle.

20 Strong: Cloudspire adds an important twist to its dice-driven defense system: misses can be used to offset enemy damage. However, the dice you roll must match your spire types, making every defensive choice significant and keeping the focus on tactical decisions.

  • Solo play for 1 player
  • Approximately 40 minutes of play time
  • All 10 Cloudspire factions
  • Spire, hero, and minion options
  • Dice-based tower defense with resource management

Whether you are familiar with Cloudspire or discovering its conflict through the 20 Strong system, this card-based adaptation offers a compact way to experience its tactical crunch.
