BrightGlade Tales

Brightglade Tales is a fast-paced two-player card game about the struggle for influence in the land of Brightglade. Every match is a short, intense skirmish (15–30 minutes) in which you don't just build your own crew — you actively sabotage your opponent: stealing their resources, bribing their people, destroying the very things they're fighting for.

Goal of the game

Three locations drawn from the deck lie on the table. The winner is the first player to seize control of one of them — and to do that, you need to gather enough Dominance Points and assemble a crew with the right composition. Sounds simple, but your opponent has exactly the same options as you, and the cards on the market are shared.

How to play

The core gameplay loop revolves around three types of cards:

• Resources — drawn from the market to fuel your actions

• Crew — recruited to carry out missions and seize locations

• Missions — the source of Dominance Points and special effects

What you can do on missions

• steal and destroy your opponent's resources

• intimidate, eliminate, bribe, and take over their crew

• train new recruits and bring back members from discarded cards

• sacrifice your own crew for extra Dominance Points

• destroy the locations being contested

Campaign

Campaign mode pits you against 9 leaders. Each one bends a different aspect of the game and rewrites its rules, so every leader is a separate challenge — and a puzzle to crack.

The Gameplay Writes the Tale

There is no script — the story of each match is a series of decisions: who to recruit, which missions to take on, what to steal from your opponent. Every game is a different tale of intrigue, betrayal, and risky plays in Brightglade.
