Black Bristol

--- Playtest now available! Join the Discord and find a group! ---

Build your spell book. Synergise with your partner. Outsmart the other team.

Black Bristol is a team deckbuilding card-battler that rewards skill, cunning and coordination. It has a few twists that make it unique and compulsive playing.

2v2 Team-based Combat: Coordinate with your partner to chain powerful effects and manage your shared resources.

Dynamic Casting System: Spells resolve by priority, not order played—meaning timing, bluffing, and anticipating your opponents is key.

Satisfying Duels: Build your strategy around delayed spells that only trigger at the right moment—or disrupt your opponent’s before they can. 

Strategy Required Only: Minimal randomness — your foresight, coordination, and timing determine the outcome.

No unlocks, no pay to win and no microtransactions
