Getting started

Cardtable is an online card game simulator that you can run in your browser. While it could support a variety of different games:

  • The Lord of the Rings LCG
  • Marvel Champions LCG
  • War of the Ring: The Card Game
  • Star Wars Deckbuilding Game
  • Lorcana
  • Star Wars: Unlimited
  • Marvel Legendary
  • Earthborne Rangers

For the purposes of this help document, I'll be using Marvel Champions. I will try to show any differences between the games when applicable, however!

Cardtable has no concept of rules or logic specific to a game. While this is what gives it the flexibility to support many different games, it means you will have to remember and apply the rules for the game you are playing.

Let's discover How to get started with Cardtable in less than 5 minutes.
