About this board game

Crayne: Fractured Empire is a strategic, high-fantasy deck-building card game for 1–6 players, with games lasting about 90 minutes. Set in the world of Crayne, it focuses on building a strong deck during play and using it to overcome rival Lords.

Cards provide revenue, an in-game currency used to purchase more powerful cards and add them to your deck. As your deck develops, its cards can support increasingly forceful strategies, including relentless attacks against your opponents.

Eight unique factions are available to recruit, and each faction brings its own strengths and unique talents. The factions used in each game are randomized, creating different combinations of play styles and requiring Lords to develop a strategy on the fly.

  • Deck building: Use revenue to purchase cards and improve your deck during the game.
  • Faction recruitment: Choose from randomized factions with distinct strengths and talents.
  • Strategic interaction: Use same-time play rules, indirect combat, and a discard discount system.
  • High-fantasy presentation: Explore a base set containing 225 cards and more than 100 unique high-quality illustrations.

Success in Crayne: Fractured Empire depends on adapting to the factions available for purchase while watching the moves of the other Lords. Its combination of randomized options, deep strategy, and evolving decks gives each game its own path to victory.
