Start for freeWhat to Expect
In Time Masters, you take on the role of a powerful mage competing in the Time Masters tournament. You manage your 'Kè’s' — small portions of daytime — to cast spells and accumulate knowledge. By carefully selecting and comboing spell cards, you build your deck and use Timer cards to prepare powerful moves for future turns. The game is quick, interactive, and demands resource management and tactical play.
Who Is This Game For?
Time Masters is suited for experienced players who enjoy deck-building and strategic card games. It supports 2 to 4 players aged 13 and up, with a playtime of about 35 minutes, making it ideal for a quick game night. Some familiarity with card games is beneficial due to its resource management complexity.
How It Works
The game features Deck, Bag, and Pool Building along with Open Drafting mechanics. You start with four active Kè’s which you replenish by playing concentration cards. Cards bought during your turn go directly to your hand, allowing them to be played immediately next turn. Timer cards let you set aside cards for future rounds to create powerful combos. The goal is to gather the most knowledge points by clever card play and resource management.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Nicholas Bodart and Pierre-Emmanuel Legrain, Time Masters combines deck-building with innovative resource management. Although it has no awards, its fast pace and player interaction stand out. The immediate playability of bought cards differentiates it from typical deckbuilders. The game fits into the time travel theme and fantasy category.
