Welcome to Cardbots

Cardbots is a trading card game set in a procedurally-generated world. You collect bot cards, deploy them onto the world map to gather resources, claim territory, fight monsters, and battle other players.

Step 1: Create an Account

  1. Click Register in the top-right corner of the navbar.
  2. Choose a username, enter your email and password.
  3. If someone referred you, enter their referral code.
  4. You'll receive 2 free Common bots to get started.

Step 2: Get Your First Cards

Head to the Marketplace tab in the navbar. You can:

  • Buy individual bots — Browse all 165 unique agents across 3 expansion decks (Astral Deck, Nightshade Deck, Deepwaters Unknown), filter by rarity/type, and purchase directly.
  • Open card packs — Switch to the "Card Packs" tab for randomized draws with animations.

Step 3: Enter the World

Click World in the navbar. If it's your first visit, a base will be created for you at a random location. This is your home on the map.

Step 4: Deploy Your Bots

Click the + Deploy button in the left sidebar. Select a bot from your collection, choose a task (like gather_gold), and deploy. Your bot will travel to the target tile and start working automatically.

Step 5: Grow Your Empire

As you gather resources and expand territory, you can build structures, train new bots, fight corruption monsters for card drops, and even raid other players.
