Tessera
A card duel that plays like a puzzle. Two heroes, five slots each and a row of colored Dots. Eight minutes, one thumb.
See how it plays
Easy to read. Hard to put down.
Tessera takes the deckbuilding of the classic card games and the evolution lines you grew up with, then dresses them in the bright, tidy look of a great puzzle game.
Spend your Dots
Your mana is a row of colored Dots. Play one a turn, then link the ones you spend and watch them pop.
Evolve your creatures
Play a Basic, then grow it into a Stage 1 and a Stage 2. Each stage hits harder and gets a more expressive face.
Attack and block
Send your units at the enemy hero. Your opponent chooses blockers with a single tap. First hero to zero loses.
From seed to bloom
Every deck is built around a line. Play the next card onto your creature and it grows, keeping every buff and scar it earned along the way.



Pick two. Build your way.
Decks use up to two colors and one hero. Your hero is your life total and a once-a-turn power you can overcharge when it counts.
Ember
Fast and reckless. Burn, rush and big swings that end games early.


Tide
Patient and slippery. Freeze, bounce and draw until the wave breaks.


Bloom
Grow wide and grow tall. Extra Dots, healing and a board full of sprigs.


Dusk
Every price is worth paying. Drain, sacrifice and bring back the fallen.


Ash cards are colorless tools like search, draw and sturdy constructs that fit into any deck.
Over 300 cards to collect
Every card has its own painting, from tiny embers to towering giants.
