Folk Lore

Folk Lore is a strategy card game inspired by the folklore of Friuli, in northeast Italy: legends, trades and landscapes of five peoples — Furlans, Cjargnei, Di là da l'aghe, Bisiacs and Triestins — become creatures, spells and places you put into play.

HOW IT PLAYS
You play one land (a "lûc") per turn, and lands pay for your cards. You summon creatures, cast spells and instants, attack and block: whoever brings the opponent's life to zero wins. The rules will feel familiar to anyone who has played a collectible card game: a few keywords, each one explained on the card with a long press.

BUILD YOUR DECK
You start by opening your first packs and finding out where you come from. After that the cards are yours to choose: build a deck, try it, change it. Packs are bought with Diabloni, the in-game coin you earn by playing and with the daily missions. There is nothing to pay for with real money: no in-app purchases and no ads.

MANY WAYS TO PLAY
• Solitaire: a game against the computer, with the usual rules.
• Single copy: every card appears only once in the deck.
• Four in play: never more than four creatures per side.
• Sealed: open ten packs and build a deck from what comes out.
• The Zîr: three to four players in a circle — you attack the player on your left and defend against the one on your right.
• The Cubie: two against two, with a friend or with a computer-controlled partner.
• Duel with a friend: a table with a code, or a challenge by name.
• The Tutorial: ten lessons to learn by playing.

MADE FOR THE PHONE
Played in landscape, full screen. Drag cards onto the table and press and hold to enlarge them. The game is designed to work with a keyboard and with screen readers too.

YOUR ACCOUNT
To play you sign in with Google, Microsoft or GitHub: it lets you find your cards on every device and lets friends find you. You pick a made-up name. There is no chat: you play with friends, and you can report and block anyone. You can delete your account and all your data from the game at any time.

Folk Lore is a game in development: cards and rules may change from one version to the next, and every report you send from the game helps us fix things.
