A Free Card Game That Runs in Your Browser

Aether Realms is a free trading card game you play in the browser. No download, no install, no account needed to start — pick one of ten kingdoms and play a full match in minutes.

Nothing to Install, Nothing to Sign Up For

Open the page and you are in a match. There is no client to download, no launcher, no patcher and no email to confirm. You can play as a guest and never make an account at all; making one adds a rating, daily quests, coins, achievements and your match history, and takes about ten seconds.

Free Means the Whole Game

Every kingdom is a complete, fixed deck of around forty cards. There are no booster packs, no cards to chase and nothing that can be bought to make a card stronger. Coins earned by playing unlock further kingdoms and cosmetic card backs and boards - things that change how your side of the table looks, never what it does.

It Runs on What You Already Have

Desktop, laptop or phone, on any modern browser. The whole game is a page: no install, no storage taken, nothing left behind when you close the tab.

A Match Takes About Ten Minutes

Gain Mana, draw, deploy units and cast spells, move to combat, attack. Bring the enemy castle to zero Health before yours falls. There is a turn timer, so a match ends even if your opponent wanders off.
