Normally the Editor would be paid, however since multiplayer has not been implemented we are allowing free access until we release the multiplayer update. You can buy the Editor early to support us, but note that it does not unlock additional features at this time.

Free to Play

Play your favorite games or playtest upcoming titles for free! Pay only for the Editor.

Game Editor

A detailed game editor for creating your final prototypes. Everything you need to make your games can be found in the Game Editor, though dedicated editors are planned for all components. Modify core mechanics like players, hand limits, create a grid, or place snapping points for objects.

Versioning Support

All save types have versioning support, so you can switch between different versions of any type of save, even down to individual components. Update items of the same version in bulk inside the game editor.

Deck Editor

A dedicated deck editor, pulling together all saved cards into one simple UI for constructing decks.

Steam Workshop Support

Upload and download creations on the Steam Workshop. Free to play users can download from the Workshop too!
