Tinker - Solo Card Game

A strategic solo card game where you build a machine to score points by emptying your library.

About

Tinker is a compact combo-building card game played entirely in your browser. Your goal is to construct an efficient machine that cycles through your library, then converts your remaining Life and Power into victory points.

How to Play

• No turns, no waiting - Play at your own pace
• Three card types:
  • 🔋 Energy - Convert Life to Power and stay in play
  • ◆ Actions - One-time effects, then discard
  • ⚙️ Artifacts - Stay in play with activated abilities
• Strategic resource management - Balance Life and Power to fuel your engine
• Junk abilities - Cards in your discard pile can provide powerful effects
• Score points - Empty your library, then sacrifice tokens for points
• Challenge yourself - Advanced mode lets you start with fewer cards and less life for harder runs
