Ardhan is a roguelike deckbuilder where every fight happens on a real board: minions trade, taunts hold the line, weapons break, and the deck you walk out with is never the deck you walked in with. 12 factions, 421 cards, 6 acts, Ascension 1–15 and a Daily Game shared by everyone.

Story

Real card combat, real consequences. Ardhan puts a full battle board — minions, taunts, weapons, hero powers — inside a roguelike run: pick a path, fight what is on it, and rebuild your deck from whatever you survive. Every fight is a board state, not a damage race. Minions trade, taunts hold the line, weapons swing and break, and the run's health bar remembers every greedy attack you did not have to make. Six acts of branching maps stand between you and the last boss, and each act ends in a boss fight that is designed, not rolled. Between runs, a permanent collection grows: shards you earn by playing craft cards and unlock factions, saved decks live in a deck builder that shows your mana curve as you build, and the stats screen keeps your totals and your last ten runs. The Daily Game hands everyone the same seeded map once a day. One attempt. Quitting counts. Ardhan is free, with optional in-game purchases.

The shop also offers shard and gold packs, extra deck slots, hero...
