Æther Engine

About Æther Engine

Æther Engine is a steampunk-themed card puzzle game where strategy meets the art of the perfect score.

HOW TO PLAY
Each turn, roll a six-sided die to draw cards from the Æther Engine. Your goal: fulfill contracts using the cards in your hand, and finish with the lowest score possible — just like golf.

Choose your cards wisely. Discard what you don't need. But beware of jammed gears — four corrupted cards lurk in the deck, ready to clog your hand and ruin your run.

CONTRACTS & STRATEGY
22 unique contracts await, ranging from simple combinations to complex mechanical puzzles. Each game deals you a fresh set of challenges — no two runs are ever the same.

• Simple contracts: pairs, straights, basic combinations
• Medium contracts: more intricate card arrangements
• Complex contracts: master-level challenges for seasoned engineers

THREE DIFFICULTY LEVELS
• Easy: wider hand limit, fewer contracts — perfect for newcomers
• Normal: the balanced experience the Engine was designed for
• Expert: tight hand limit, more contracts, demanding rank thresholds
