About the game
What you do in a play session
The big twist is that you can only claim two cards throughout the entire game. This means every 'upgrade' choice is crucial. Will you build a powerful combo to speed up your exit, or will you focus on hindering opponents? The 'layering' mechanic, where cards stack and interact, adds an extra layer of strategy. But beware, because in "Ruins", losing a turn can mean falling behind. It's a fast-paced game, with matches lasting around 40 minutes, perfect for those who enjoy a fierce competition where hand management and anticipation are key. With transparent components that add a special touch, "Ruins" is a great choice for anyone looking for a card game with depth and a touch of cunning.
