Out now on Google Play and Steam
Android on Google Play, Windows on Steam. Both are free, both are the whole game, and installing either asks nothing of us — no sign-up here, no email, no waiting list.
Android
Runewards: Strategy Card Game
That is the name it carries on Google Play. It is the same game this site is about, and it is free.
- Free
- No advertising
- Network access only
Installing it takes a Google Play account and nothing from us. You will want a Runewards account to play — the app offers to make one on first open.
Windows
Runewards: Strategy Card Game
The same name on Steam, and the same game as the Android app: one set of servers, so a match can be phone against PC. It is free.
- Free
- No advertising
- Windows only
Installing it takes a Steam account and nothing from us. To play, sign in with Steam, or with the Runewards account you already use on Android — your collection comes with it.
The account, and when you need one
You do not need an account to download the game. You need one to play it, because your collection, your decks and your progress live on our servers rather than on the device — which is also what lets you pick the same account up somewhere else, on a phone or on a PC.
The app will offer to make one the first time you open it, and that is the easiest way to do it. It is the same account as this website, so if you would rather make it now, you can, and then sign in with it in the app. Either way it is one account, not two.
What we keep, and what we never do with it, is set out in the privacy policy. Closing the account and removing everything on it is a page of its own.
What you get
All of it. The campaign’s three acts, the five adventure tiers and online matches against other players, with 242 cards to collect, craft and build decks from. Ranked play is deliberately closed until there are enough players for a ladder to mean anything.
If you want to know how it plays before you install anything, how to play is the short version and every rule is the long one.
