About Age of Rivals
Age of Rivals is a fast-paced card game that distills civilization-building strategy into 10-minute matches where you balance culture, military, defense, and economy to outwit opponents. With 12 unique characters and hundreds of cards offering multiple paths to victory, it emphasizes tactical decision-making and clever card combinations over deck-building, ensuring every game plays differently with no grinding or pay-to-win mechanics.
Deep civilization-building strategy in a fast-paced card game.
You know those games where you spend 10 hours building up a huge civilization with a carefully balanced economy, military, culture and defense so you can prove that you are the greatest ruler ever? Age of Rivals is like a 10 minute version of that. With cards.
There are many paths to victory in this competitive card drafting game featuring 12 unique characters and hundreds of cards ranging from great pyramids and war elephants to sneaky spies and crafty merchants.
Age of Rivals was inspired by boardgames like 7 Wonders and Dominion and CCGs like Hearthstone. We designed it to be ideal for 2 players to play in 10 minutes, and we emphasized depth and replayability.
And unlike many CCGs, all cards unlock at a constant pace, and you never get duplicate cards you don't need. There are no in-app purchases.
The anti-deck building CCG.
Having only minimal control over your deck encourages endless variety in each game and puts the focus on in-the-moment tactical decision-making. You may go heavily offensive one game with an arsenal of war machines and in the next game find yourself emphasizing artistic achievement and burglary. It’s all about trying to put together clever card combinations to counter what you think your opponent might do.
Perfectly balance your city’s culture, military, defense and economy to outwit your opponent and win!

What Players Are Saying
- “this game is intoxicating ... in the best possible meaning. the balancing is close to perfect and the card exchanging rule makes every game different and never unbalanced. 10/10 magna cum laude. “ - Lobbod
- “I think this is a great card game that also incorporates a nice board game style to it” - narayan999
- “A very dynamic game with different ways to achieve victory. No best strategy to win, no grinding required, luck factor is not so relevant: you just have to be smarter than your opponent :) Definitely worth your free time.” - crodino
- “What separates this brilliant game from 7 wonders is its emphasis on military, which is closer to civilizations in real life. This game carefully balances economy, military, and growth elements well and deserves 5 stars.” - SuperBigDay
- “Well designed game, excellent card system.” - Zalgocomes
Will I like Age of Rivals?
- If you like the idea of a fast-paced card game version of Civilization, then yes!
- If you like board games like 7 Wonders and Dominion, then yes!
- If you like like the part of a CCG where you try to tactically outwit your opponent more than you like the part where you have to build a 30 card deck, then yes!

Like an awesome boardgame. Has more depth than you might imagine.1 found this helpful
i've played this game for nearly 200 hours. would have played for hundreds more... but... the game has stopped opening. i can't play it anymore. it was one of my favorite games. and i'd recommend the mobile version to anyone interested (i have the ios port, which is lovely.), but i can't in good conscience recommend a game on steam that won't even load anymore.
Old school game, hours of fun.
One of my all-time favorites. I was playing this game 10 years ago and it's still so much fun.
I remember playing this on Kongregate back in the day. The gameplay still holds up great even when compared to modern drafting games, and there is great variety in strategies that require flexible play. However one game-breaking issue is that the Steam version keeps freezing and crashing for me after playing for ~1 hour each time. For that reason, I can't recommend this game but I am looking forward to the sequel.
The backend server for this game is down and all cards are given as unlocks by default. I was looking forward to the progression of unlocking cards. With everything unlocked and no way to construct decks, there is literally no deck building in this game and it's mislabeled as such.
