What is Ortus Regni?

Ortus Regni is a free-to-play strategy card game set in late Anglo-Saxon England, where rival earls compete for land. You assemble a deck from the included card set, then play matches by establishing fiefs, developing vassals, and fighting for territory.

For you if...

  • +you like medieval settings and building decks for territorial battles
  • +you prefer a fixed card pool over collecting new cards

Not for you if...

  • −you dislike unpredictable outcomes in card-based battles
  • −you need a detailed tutorial to learn card rules
