In a world ravaged by plague, only the sharpest minds survive.
The Dark Order is a confrontational, tactical card game for two players, set in a unique dark fantasy world, featuring illustrations created by talented artists. Step into the role of a commander, leading a unique faction to victory. Deploy your units, issue tactical orders, and deliver critical support — medkits, traps, or weapons — when the tide of battle demands it. With resources dwindling and the battlefield constantly shifting, you must choose wisely: who will go to the front lines, and who will be sent to scavenge the locations? Beware — exhaustion and wounds will take their toll, eventually forcing even your best troops to stand down.
At the heart of the game lies a unique mechanic: Battle Reserve Management.
Every action depletes your reserve, and the longer the battle lasts, the more your forces weaken. Your Battle Reserve fuels every move — but once it’s gone, defeat is inevitable. Carefully balancing aggression and endurance is the key to survival.
➡️ manage your hand & resources to plan every move,
➡️ fight through back-and-forth combat resolution,
➡️ play multi-use cards in clever ways,
➡️ outsmart your opponent with bluffing,
➡️ adapt thanks to multiple win conditions,
➡️ take risks with push-your-luck decisions,
➡️ explore asymmetric roles & factions,
➡️ and enjoy a quick setup…
…all under the pressure of a unique Battle Reserve Management — your greatest resource, but also the clock that can kill your commander!
