ARCHKEEPERS is a fantasy collectible card game in which you build a Manuscript, battle through Tidelit Kingdom, recover its history and prove what belongs in the canon.

An Archkeeper is the player's identity in the world of ARCHKEEPERS — the person responsible for recovering, testing and preserving lost records.

ARCHKEEPERS is built to play in the browser. Use PLAY NOW to enter the game.

Your Manuscript is the deck of Pages you choose to bring into battle.

Your Collection is everything you own. Your active Manuscript is the selection you fight with.

Pages are the cards used in battle.

They include Witnesses, Events, Places, Relics and Endings, each with a different role in how a battle unfolds.

Ink is the battle resource used to play Pages from your hand.

It belongs to the battle itself and is not one of the Archive's two currencies.

Gilded Ink is used in the Archive Store for Pages, Instruments, Restoration pieces and upgrades.

It is bought in the Archive Treasury and is never earned in battle.

Archive Seals are the currency of the Collector's Market.

They are used to acquire the World Folios and Canon Relics you do not yet hold. They are bought in the Archive Treasury.

The World Path is the progression route through a lost Kingdom.

In Tidelit Kingdom, it takes the Archkeeper through thresholds, guardians and Boss encounters toward the Final Boss, Queen Beneath Sunlight.

World Folios are painted records of a World's remembered history.

They are not combat Pages. Together, they preserve the sequence of what happened before the World was lost.

Canon Relics are physical proof objects tied to a lost Kingdom.

Where a Folio records what was remembered, a Canon Relic proves that something truly existed.

Restoration is the larger process of recovering the evidence, records and witnesses required to bring a lost Kingdom back into the Archive.

The Canon Arena lets Archkeepers challenge one another using their equipped Manuscripts.

Arena results move one shared Rating. There are no leagues or tiers.

The Collector's Market holds the ten World Folios and five Canon Relics of Tidelit.

You acquire a piece you do not yet hold directly from the Archive, for Archive Seals; some pieces open only after a Boss falls. There is no trading between players.
