Ember & Ivory
EVERY HAND IS A WEAPON.
Outplay the dungeon. Claim the crown.
A pair becomes a sword strike. A full house becomes a finishing blow. In Ember & Ivory, you and your enemy share one poker board—and every card you place changes the fight for both of you.
FREE TO PLAY · NO DOWNLOAD · DESKTOP & MOBILE
DESCEND INTO THE HOLLOW SANCTUM
♠ Five guardians. One crown. Battle from the moss gate to the throne of the Ivory King.
♦ Build your best hand. Complete rows, columns, or diagonals. Finish multiple lines in one move for a powerful combo.
♣ Make every victory count. Upgrade your blade, strengthen your armor, or restore your health between encounters.
♥ Feel the impact. Animated strikes, glowing hand announcements, torchlit artwork, and a full soundtrack.
YOUR FIRST BATTLE
1. Select two cards from your hand.
2. Choose an open board edge to preview your poker hand. Tap a shared corner again to switch between available lines.
3. A pair or better lets you attack. Stronger hands hit harder.
Stuck? Use Find a hand for a hint or Redraw & pass for new cards. Second wind heals once per encounter, but gives the enemy a turn.
PICK UP AND PLAY
Use a mouse or touch controls. Portrait is recommended on phones; scroll to reach your hand and attack controls. Music begins after your first interaction, with separate music and sound toggles. Progress saves in the browser you play in.

Actually really awesome game. A fair amount of difficulty without it being frustrating. I would have liked a guided tutorial but it didn't take me long to understand how to play. I would also like if the window wasn't as tall so I didn't have to scroll up to check health bar. I feel like this is something I will come back to for sure.
Thank you so much for trying it out and for the feedback. Can I ask if you are playing on a phone or computer?
