In Quantum Decks, you take on the role of two enigmatic spacefarers battling a threat to the entire universe. They must use their amazing quantum-powers to defeat iconic encounters such as The Enterspice or Sentient Meteors.

Only teamwork and careful coordination will help them along the way. Play alone or with a friend over network!

With 51 unique hand-painted cards and 16 abilities to learn and master, there is a lot of replay value.


Let us know in the comments what your favourite encounter or card is, and how close you came to defeat the powerful bosses!



Each player's deck is called the ACTION deck. The cards available to play each turn is called the player's HAND. Played cards go into the VOID and become unavailable. The cards the players have to overcome are called THREATS.

Turn Order
AMBUSH Phase - Reveal a new Threat or BOSS if necessary
DRAW Phase - Both players draw up to three cards from their ACTION deck. If either player can't draw any cards, you both lose!
ACTION Phase - Both players select and confirm the card they want to play.
ATTACK Phase - If both players played the same type, add their strength values to each other. This is called a SURGE. Then, in turn order, execute the chosen attack cards and resolve their effects.
Dealing Damage - When the played Attack card matches the Threat's type, deal Strength damage. If they mismatch, deal one point of damage. If this reduces the Threat to zero, it is defeated and will be removed from play.
LOST Phase - The played card is discarded to the Void. All unselected cards are shuffled into the other player's deck.
