Join us in the world of Luminous.
Luminous is a fast-paced card game requiring savvy resource management and intricate counterplay.
A complete card game
Luminous is a fast-paced cosmetic collectible card game focused on resource management and simplified game play. Play as one of two factions vying for control of the wild Continent: the bio-modding, relic obsessed Disciples or the forest-dwelling treefolk, the Kynda.
Each faction features unique mechanics and robust combo opportunities, but be sure to plan ahead – your decisions on turn one can be the difference between winning and losing this new CCCG from Luminous Game Studios. Play orbs to cast spells, relics, and units from your hand to pressure your opponent's life total. Each orb stays in play and cannot be switched until later in the game, so how you sequence in the early turns can affect your late game strategy.
Choose your faction
Factions use their unique skills to battle for supremacy over the Continent.
The Kynda of the Endless Forest
In the southern forests live the Kynda. Born of massive sentient trees within the Grove of the Rooted, the Kynda are a prolific and driven people. Their elders toil over the Pits, massive compost heaps that nourish the Grove. Their young clash with Mankind and strive to expand the boundaries of the Endless Forest northward.
The Kynda’s unique mechanics focus on turning death into life; cards that are killed or discarded might provide extra bonuses, while some benefit from the size of your discard pile. The Kynda are used to dying to feed their bigger brethren, and from their bones are born Keepers, prodigious Kynda units. Keep your compost pits full, amass your Keepers, and overrun your opponents.
The Disciples
The Disciples seek to understand the relics left behind by the Ancients, and to keep them from the hands of those who might abuse their power. Their conclaves dot the Continent, each one an endlessly toiling research and manufacturing outpost. The most zealous of their number integrate ancient technology into their very body, melding man and machine in terrifyingly effective amalgams.
The Disciple’s unique mechanics focus on amassing relics and using them to enable powerful upgrades. Cards may have special abilities that require a certain amount of relics be available, or allow you to destroy relics for specific effects. Salvage as much as you can from the mysterious Ancients and use it to arm your Brothers and Sisters with technological marvels.

Gather your orbs
On the Continent, Orbs are power. The most prolific of the relics left left behind by the Ancients, these nearly limitless energy sources enable feats of magic unimaginable otherwise.
Carefully play and pivot your orbs to ensure you've always got the right resources for the win.
Green orbs are attuned to order. The energy within forms infinite fractal patterns. Ideal for working with technology, particularly the relics of the Ancients.
Orange orbs are attuned to life. The energy within pulses with eager vitality. Most often used to bolster the body or swell your forces.
Purple orbs are attuned to chaos. The energy within crackles with boundless potential. Cast powerful magic or summon arcane forces.
