Details

Overview

Tughra: Seals of Empire is a unique turn-based strategy card game developed and published by Nine Gates Studio. Released on September 28, 2026, this title blends tactical card combat with a novel unit promotion system. Players don't just deploy cards; they strategically merge them to create stronger units, forming a 'promotion tree' that culminates in the empire's most powerful card. The game features multiplayer support and is available with Steam Cloud and Family Sharing options.

Highlights

Innovative Promotion System: Cards can be merged on the board to form progressively stronger units, such as merging two recruits into a captain, and two captains into a governor. This creates a dynamic 'promotion tree' central to the strategy.
Ruler's Seals: Before each match, players choose one of five distinct ruler's seals, each granting a unique power usable every turn. These seals represent historical powers like the Ottoman Tughra, the Byzantine Eagle, and the Jade Seal of China.
Strategic Depth: The core gameplay revolves around building your promotion tree while simultaneously trying to dismantle your opponent's before they can reach their strongest card.

Who It's For

This game is ideal for players who enjoy turn-based strategy and card battlers with a unique twist. Fans of games that reward careful planning, resource management, and emergent unit strength will find Tughra: Seals of Empire particularly engaging. The tactical depth and the novel promotion mechanic offer a fresh experience for seasoned strategy enthusiasts.
