Cardaire

About this game

Welcome to the world of Cardaire!

In Cardaire you take the role of "Mulligan", an intrepid duelist who aims to make a name for herself in a world that revolves around a card game (how neat). Embark on a strange adventure through the Duelist Frontier to prove yourself as a real Duelist. Collect cards, purchase booster packs, duel foes, and build your perfect deck!





This game includes:

• Over 100 unique cards
  
• A world packed with things to explore and characters to meet
  
• A homemade soundtrack including REAL - ACTUAL - MUSIC
  
• Some relaxing fishing content
  
• Unique and challenging duels - including repeatable mini-tournaments
  
• At least (one) clown

This game does not include:

• AI Art
  
• NFTs
  
• Microtransactions
  
• A second clown (probably)

Hey there I'm "aeiou", and I'm the developer behind this thing! For as long as I can remember I've been cursed with the ungodly affliction of "enjoying card games". Growing up, when I wasn't scraping together money to buy more packs I was playing videogames that offered the 'card game experience'. I fell in love with the adventure of starting from nothing, piecing together your first deck, fighting to get more cards, and then finally becoming a powerhouse duelist. I'm making Cardaire to capture that experience for my fellow cardboard enthusiasts.
