Expedition: Auto Battler

Build a deck, set it loose, and watch it fight.

Expedition is a sci-fi card battler that plays itself. The decisions are yours: which ten cards go in, and in what order. Then the match resolves on its own, turn by turn, and shows whether your build holds up.

NO LUCK, ONLY THE BUILD
There are no draws and no dice. Your deck plays from the top, one card a turn, the moment you can afford it. The same two decks always play out the same way, so every win is earned and every loss tells you exactly what to change.

FIVE FACTIONS, MIXED FREELY
• Humans build an economy of solar sails and reactors, then spend it on battlecruisers and a Dyson Sphere.
• The Zemnos are a hive: cheap, hungry and many, laying eggs and feeding on their own dead.
• The Korrath are a court on the march, where rank is position and the unit in front leads the rest.
• The Wardens reach in from outside of time, and nothing they do arrives in the order you expect.
• The Olun keep the deep: their folk dive and wait while the creatures they raise grow into monsters.
Take the best of each into one list.

CLIMB THE RANKS
Every rank is one opponent to beat, with three tries and the deck free to change between them. Beat it and the trophies are yours; run out of tries and the rank slips. Fill a planet's trophy bar, claim its rewards, and fly on to the next.

RESEARCH NEW CARDS
Each faction has its own research tree. Unlock a card, and it opens the path to the cards built on it.

MASTER YOUR CARDS
Every card played earns mastery. Level it up and it wears a new skin: silver, gold, stained glass, hologram and more.

SHORT, SHARP MATCHES
A match takes a minute to watch, or skip straight to the result. Tweak a card, swap an order, try the rank again.
