Tughra: Seals of Empire
Released 28 September 2026 · PC · Indie, Strategy
A turn-based card battler set in fantasy echoes of history's great empires. Promote your soldiers rank by rank and take up your ruler's seal. Conquer five empires to face a hidden challenger — or invite a friend over Steam and settle it in a single match.
Story
The card game where cards earn their rank. In Tughra you don't just play your cards — you promote them. Two recruits on the board merge into a captain for a single Treasure; two captains become a governor. Every deck is a promotion tree with the empire's strongest card at its top — and your opponent will try to cut that tree at the root before you climb it. The ruler's seal is in your hand. Every empire has five seals; you choose one before the match. A seal is the ruler's power you can use every turn: the Ottoman Tughra, the Byzantine Golden Bull, the Jade Seal of China, the Royal Signet of Persia, the Double Crown of Austria. The same deck plays completely differently under a different seal. Five empires, five ways to play. Not the empires of real history, but of its fantasy echo: Ottoman — promotion, conscription and siege: turn the enemy's men to your side and bring down their walls with cannon. Byzantium — raise walls, burn with Greek Fire, silence your enemy with diplomacy. China — gunpowder and numbers: Powder Soldiers that explode on death, and a Dragon Assault that floods the board in a single turn. Persia — Immortals who are always replaced, war elephants,...

Persia — Immortals who are always replaced, war elephants, and a treasury fed by satrapies. Austria — a realm with two heads: it opens slowly, then presses from both wings at once. Coalition binds your army into one body, and the guns speak every turn. ...
