Watch

Hettie explains everything. For a price.

Ninety seconds with the Narrator and Hettie Penhallow, the pawnbroker who runs Tithe's shop.

How it plays

Power costs you. That's the point.

Tithe plays like the duel card games you know, with one twist: there's no mana. Every card you play is paid for out of your own deck, and the deck is also your lifeline.

I

Pay with your future

Cards cost cards. The bigger the play, the more of your deck you burn. Run dry and you lose, so every summon is a bet.

II

Summon, tribute, overwhelm

Fight across lanes, set traps, tribute your creatures to call down Extra Deck bosses with their own summon cut-ins.

III

More than one way to win

Drop your rival from 20 life to 0, or leave them nothing to draw. Some decks win their own way: five Relics, a sky full of Omens, checkmate.

50 decks and counting

Pick a side. Pay its price.

Every deck plays differently, from fire courts and drowned choirs to gunslingers, plague doctors and a queen who plays chess with her army.

Questions

Before you ask

Is Tithe free?

Testers can play the full game free during the playtest. All currency in the playtest is in-game only; nothing costs real money. We're still working out pricing for launch and will share it before then.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Tithe runs in your browser. If you want it on your home screen or desktop, use Install the app: it takes one tap and updates itself.

What devices does it work on?

Phones (iPhone and Android, foldables included), tablets, and computers in a current version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.

Will I keep my progress?

Not after launch. Playtest progress and currency are wiped when Tithe launches, so everyone starts fresh.

When does Tithe launch?

We're aiming for Steam and mobile. Tick "Keep me posted" when you sign up and we'll tell you when you can wishlist it.

I signed up. Why can't I get in yet?
