Familiar Foundation, Fresh Strategy

If you’ve played Hearts, Spades, or Ombre, you already know the basics. Players follow suit and win tricks to score points. But in Castlore, you’re not just playing cards — you’re casting spells. 

Each Castlore card represents both a traditional playing piece and a magical component. Combine cards strategically to cast spells that can change the course of play, protect your position, or disrupt opponents’ plans.
