Cardistry

Description

Cardistry is a free-to-play idle clicker and card-collecting game featuring hand-drawn art by real artists. Players click to earn currency, let the game run for time-based drops, and build a personal collection of cards to trade on Steam. Unlike many games, Cardistry avoids AI-generated art, opting for unique, human-drawn illustrations that evolve over time. The game starts with quirky, meme-inspired animal characters reimagined by artists instead of generic AI models. Core mechanics include time-based drops (Common every 3 hours, Rare every 12 hours, and daily Rare catch-up), earning Inspiration Points (IP) by clicking equipped cards, and random "Sketch Fragment" events for big rewards. IP can boost drops, purchase instant boosters, or be recycled into Support Credits for buying cards and boosters. All cards are Steam inventory items, allowing trades and participation in monthly events like "Black Market Friday." Cardistry celebrates creativity, offering a cozy, human-driven experience in the idle genre. It's a small.
