A hybrid tactical card game + oracle deck + esoteric codex for modern mystics.
Play. Reflect. Transcend.
The Anthromancer Game System is an experimental fusion of competitive strategy, ritual symbolism, and ancient-future aesthetics. Designed for those who think themselves wizards, this box set delivers both a head-to-head arcade-style card battle and a completely original oracle system — all using the same meticulously crafted components.
🧩 Inside the Box:
-
Mercenarium: A 2–4 player tactical abstract strategy chance card game.
Place, move, and capture cards on a sacred 5x5 grid. Games range from quick duels to multi-hour, chaotic free-for-alls. Combines the feel of chess, tarot, and Mario Kart — yes, really. -
Dragonfruit Alchemy: A symbolic oracle system for divination, reflection, and synchronicity. Use the same cards and dice to perform deeply personal readings, guided by a structured philosophical model tied to elemental alchemy.
-
The Codex (160-page hardcover):
A full-color, illustrated book containing complete rules, the lore and design history of the system, lyrics to the companion concept album (The Hymnal), and a breakdown of the game's esoteric framework. -
Custom Game Components:
-
71-card square deck with suits, edge values, and symbolic illustrations
-
Three unique dice: The Fool (white d6), The Fox (purple d6), The Zodiac (blue d12)

Foldable 5x5 game board with sacred geometry design

Satin dice bag printed with the Dragonfruit emblem

🌀 Aesthetic & Influence:
This isn’t just a game — it’s a ritual object.
Minimalist, geometric, esoteric. Inspired by sacred geometry, classical elements, field manuals, and mystic texts. Like a tarot deck smuggled out of Atlantis. Designed by Daniel Drake in collaboration with Kalen Blake and Wella Made, it’s both an indie game and a magical artifact.
🧠 Who It’s For:
-
Indie tabletop & card game collectors
-
Oracle/tarot readers seeking a new symbolic system
-
Wizards, worldbuilders, and loreheads
-
Philosophers, artists, mystics, and seekers of the weird

Customer Reviews
Great game for a great price.
This game is so well thought out and fun to play that there's a community of good folk built around playing it together! I've been playing it every week for about a year now. Met my girlfriend playing it, this game literally got me laid. It's a card/board game that got some poor woman to touch muh privates... there was actual human to human interaction involved, and I enjoyed it! I feel that's about as high of a recommendation a man such as myself can give.
...and this is it! I was hooked after my first game, and now I play weekly. It feels like the perfect combination of strategy, skill, and luck. Just when you think you have it all figured out, someone comes along and ruins your day in way you haven't even thought of. I can't recommend this game enough. Buy a copy, and then buy your friend a copy, cause they're probably going to try to borrow yours.
I am enjoying this games with my friends, we are playing it non stop, it is very enjoyable and I appreciate all the project behind, the Codex, the music, the tarot reading. It's super cool!
