About the game

What you do in a play session

CVLT is a competitive card game that reinvents the classic trick-taking mechanic with a modern, strategic twist. Each match is a dance of decisions: after each trick, players choose a card to add to their offerings tableau (visible to all) or to their dreams pile (secret). The key twist is the temple: at the end of the round, your offerings only score if you've built a perfect sequence of values in each suit. And there's more! Vision cards bring secret objectives that can turn the tide. With simple yet deep rules, CVLT is perfect for card game lovers who enjoy a dash of bluffing and long-term planning. Pro tip: never underestimate the power of a well-kept dream!
