Original Steam description
You think you’re here to collect cards… But the Archives may have something else entirely in store for you.
Open packs and grow your collection. In The Archive Project, your cards generate gold. You decide where it goes: new discoveries, a growing city or lasting upgrades.
Find the card you've been waiting for
Six cards per pack. Over 1,500 illustrated cards to collect, with Shiny, FullArt, Gold and Cosmic variants to hunt down. Complete your Album for permanent bonuses. Even duplicates have a use: they become Dust for the Workshop.
Build around your collection
Develop your city to unlock new packs, increase production and expand your options.
Craft and improve cards in the Workshop, from their gold income to their variants.
Choose your path through over 300 talents in the constellation, focusing on the bonuses that suit your collection.
Put your sets to work
Choose a card set and an expedition duration. Every card and variant you own in that set contributes to its expedition power. Bring back resources and relics, then display your relics in the Museum for more bonuses.
Awaken the Monolith
Place sixteen cards around the Monolith. Combine sets, families, rarities and variants to trigger resonances that strengthen your economy. Try different arrangements and save your favourite compositions.
