Rampallians

Rampallians is a PvP card game in which you build a 40-card deck from nearly 400 cards, gather resources and develop a settlement. At the start of each game, you choose a faction and decide which resources to place in the six slots on your board: Gold, Ore, Food or Wood. Your choices depend on the cards in your deck.

Choose a faction

Each faction has its own approach and units:

• Orcs: An aggressive, fast-acting and straightforward faction that can attack early with little setup. They can call on Ogres and Trolls or unleash evil spirits from Gaelic Folklore, but may struggle if they fail to rush down their opponent.
• Humans: A slower, adaptable faction. Train Wizards, Knights, Archers or Mechanics, and turn Gatherers into Units that can be developed through different upgrade trees.
• Elves: A tenacious faction suited to the mid game. Grow treefolk from saplings into warriors or defenders, or use druids that transform into beasts.
• Dwarves: A slow, sturdy and complex faction. Miners gain experience through mining or combat, improving in their chosen field. Smiths, Longbeards and crafters offer different paths, including workshops that build Automatons and Runes.
• Dragons: Cards that can be included in any deck. Dragons grow from babies into adults, with effects such as disrupting battle orders or devouring an opponent's Gatherers.

Build your settlement

Play Gatherers to collect resources, Units to attack and defend, Support cards for powerful long-term effects, and Special cards for one-off abilities. These are the main card types you use to build your settlement and assemble your 40-card deck.

Fight for the Keep

Choose the order of your Units and Gatherers, and assign attackers and defenders. Battles then resolve automatically as attacks and effects take place. After winning a battle, you can attack your opponent's settlement, targeting their Gatherers, Supports or Keep. Reduce the opponent's Keep to zero health to win.
