Heroes and Forsaken: The Wheel of Time Digital Card Game

Heroes and Forsaken is a free-to-play card game set in The Wheel of Time. You pick a side, the Light or the Shadow, and a Leader from the books: Rand al'Thor, Egwene al'Vere, Rhuarc, Lanfear, Graendal, Moghedien and others. Then you build a deck around them and try to bring the other Leader to zero Health before they do it to you.

Every deck has a Leader and a Companion. The Leader's ability decides a lot about how the deck wants to play. The Companion (a Darkhound, a Draghkar, a Torm, or one of the others) brings an ability of its own. With Leader Paths you can change how a Leader plays for each deck, and change it back between matches.

Beings fight on the board. Spells happen the moment you play them. Equipment goes on your Leader. You pay for all of it with the One Power, which grows by one every turn until it reaches ten. That is most of the rules. The rest is deciding what to hold back.

A deck can hold one Mythic card, no more. When it is played, the whole board knows about it.

Matches pay out Threads. You spend them in the Great Tapestry: pick a chapter and unlock its nodes in order, and each node shows what you get and what it costs before you claim it. When you unlock a card you get every copy a deck can use, so you never chase duplicates.

Nothing that affects play is for sale, and money can't buy Threads. The shop has Leader skins, boards, card backs and other cosmetics, and every item in it is labelled "Cosmetic. No effect on play."

A story campaign, 1v1 and 2v2 with a friend, and Solo and Duo Ranked with seasons and leaderboards. All of it is planned for launch.

Coming to PC, Android and iOS, with cross-play between them.

No crypto, no NFTs, no blockchain.
