About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an epic duel between Day and Night in "Day & Night"! This strategic game for two players puts you in the shoes of cosmic entities, each with their own unique cards and tactics. The goal? To dominate the board, a 6x8 grid, by placing your tiles to build temples. Whoever builds two temples first, wins!
Each turn involves choosing and playing cards from your deck – be it Lady Day's "Book of Spells" or Lady Night's "Crystallize." These cards allow you to place your tiles on the board, but also activate special powers and spells that can change the course of the game. The game's art is a standout feature, with fantastic illustrations that bring the "Day & Night" universe to life.
The beauty of this game lies in its replayability. The asymmetric decks and the variety of cards ensure that every game is a new experience, requiring you to adapt and anticipate your opponent's moves. It's a game of careful planning, where the placement of your tiles and the right timing for using each ability are crucial. If you enjoy abstract games with a touch of fantasy and plenty of strategy, "Day & Night" will keep you hooked from start to finish.
