Achroma Formats

Unleash Your Might with Achroma Canvas and Achroma Heroes

Which adventure will you choose to test your strategic prowess and unleash the power of your card collection: Achroma Canvas or Achroma Heroes.

Easy to learn, fun to master: Both formats welcome players of all skill levels, with intuitive mechanics that quickly lead to captivating battles. Gather your friends or family (from 2 to 6), choose your format, and prepare for glory.

Forge Your Palette: Each player wields a Palette, a deck of 30 Achroma cards (40 for Achroma Heroes). Start your journey with a pre-constructed Palette from an Achroma box, or unleash your creativity by crafting your own from your existing collection.

Command the Five Realms: Throughout the game, you'll utilise Shards, the very lifeblood of Achroma, to fuel your strategies. Deploy courageous Characters to clash with your foes, equip them with potent Objects, harness the power of magical Locations, and unleash devastating Actions. Each action you orchestrate grants you the opportunity to Gain, Drain, or Steal Shards, tipping the scales of victory in your favor.

Dominate the Battlefield: Glory awaits the victor! The first player to amass 30 Shards in their bank claims ultimate triumph. Alternatively, crush your opponents by reducing their Shards to zero, leaving them powerless to resist your might.
