Uncover ancient treasures while building outrageous card combinations in Ruins, a strategic travel board game that puts a clever twist on the classic shedding game. Use transparent cards to upgrade your ruins, stack powerful effects and then race to play your final card before your opponents can complete their own winning combinations.
 
On your turn choose a card to enhance with a transparent card overlay, then play the upgraded result. Each overlay changes the card beneath it, allowing abilities to stack into increasingly powerful combinations. A simple card can quickly become something far more spectacular, creating unexpected effects that can completely change the course of the game.
 
The clever part is that you have only two opportunities to claim cards during the entire game, so every choice matters. Look for combinations that can turn modest cards into powerful tools, plan your upgrades carefully then unleash them at exactly the right moment. With effects capable of producing wild results, every hand offers the chance to discover a new tactical trick.
 
The game rewards players who can spot opportunities several moves ahead while still reacting to what their opponents are doing. Race to shed your cards, build your score and use your best upgrades before someone else reaches the finish line.
 
Ruins offers a distinctive travel game experience for players who enjoy strategic card games, clever combos plus innovative mechanics.
