About the game
What you do in a play session
Antinomy is a fast-paced, strategic card game where two sorcerers battle for control over space-time. Each player starts with a hand of cards, and the goal is to collect five Paradox Crystals before your opponent. The mechanic is simple: play a card to time travel—use the color or symbol to go back to the past or the number to jump into the future. The card you play swaps with the one at your destination, letting you build powerful combos. Forming sets of three identical cards creates paradoxes, which turn into crystals. But watch out: your rival can challenge you in a Clash to steal your crystals! With matches lasting just 30 minutes, Antinomy is perfect for fans of quick but deeply strategic games. Can you master time and come out on top?
