What is Balantica?

This free-to-play, single-player fantasy deckbuilder follows twins on a branching journey toward an altar. You build a deck and assign cards to either twin to meet each trial's hope target while keeping their sides of a scale balanced. Their changing relationship makes hope easier or harder to build, and losing all the scale's health ends the run.

For you if...

+you enjoy building decks around interacting card effects
+you like demanding trials that reward careful planning

Not for you if...

−you want predictable deckbuilding with little reliance on random draws
−you prefer relaxed card games with forgiving difficulty
