The claws come out in this wild card game.

Creatures of Aether

View

Play the wrong cards in Creatures of Aether and you’ll get burned, zapped, or frozen! But that’s OK—you can tame the game’s animal enemies with a solid deck (and some basic math).

How it plays: This deceptively strategic card game is all about control. Drop a higher-numbered card next to an opponent’s and you’ll flip theirs, giving you control over that space. Once the game board fills up, whoever holds the most zones wins.

Elemental zones boost your cards’ stats.

Why we love it: It’s a nail-biter! One well-placed card can instantly swing a match. And with over 100 sleek monster hybrids to collect, the strategy deepens the longer you play.

Don’t miss: Playing a legendary card on an elemental tile creates an awesome special effect. Plop a fiery Zetterburn on a flame-colored zone, for instance, to torch the entire field.

Meet the creators: Tako Boy Studios built the game in collaboration with developer Dan Fornace.
