Alembix TCG

Brew the periodic table into a card game.
Alembix is a free-to-play collectible card game where every creature is an element, every spell a reaction, and every fusion a real chemical recipe. Recruit the noble metals and the volatile gases, transmute them in your Athanor, and out-think your opponent in fast, decisive duels built on a periodic-table you didn't know was a battlefield.

No grinding for resources. No paywalled cards. Every card in the game is craftable.

What makes Alembix different
120 creatures, one for every element. From the alkali firestarters to the radiant rare earths, each tribe plays to its real-world character. Salia burn fast. Terrae hold the line. Aetheria slip every attack.

Fusion that actually means something. Bring iron and oxygen onto the field and forge them into Crocus — rust given form. 22 initial  fusion recipes, each a genuine reaction. Your component creatures are consumed in the transmutation; choose your moment.

The Athanor. Five fusions, chosen before the match. Your secret weapon, hidden until you draw it from the furnace.

A clean resource system you'll learn in a minute. Quintessence ramps each turn like mana you already know. Three alchemical primes — Salt, Sulphur, Mercury — come from the creatures you play, never from a card you didn't draw. No mana screw. No missing colours. Just the choices that matter.

Easy to learn, deep to master. The opening tutorial gets you into a real duel in under ten minutes. The meta will take longer.

How it plays
Each turn you gain a little more Quintessence and choose how to spend it: drop an element creature onto the field, play an event to bend the rules, or perform a fusion if you've set the stage. Your creatures emit primes while they live, unlocking your bigger plays. Your opponent does the same. Turns are quick. Decisions aren't.

The Athanor sits beside the board the whole match: five Coagula you chose before the duel began, waiting for the right components to land on your side. Bring them out at the right moment and you can swing a game. Bring them out too soon and you've spent your engine.

Built fair from the ground up
Alembix is free-to-play and built to stay that way honestly.
Every card is craftable. Dismantle duplicates into Stardust, craft the card you want. No card is paywalled, but crafting is driven by random generation.

Disclosed odds. Every booster pack shows its drop rates, pity timers, and duplicate protection before you buy or open it.

No pay-to-win. Spending accelerates collection breadth, not card power. The best cards are reachable for everyone.

No blockchain. No NFTs. No off-platform trading. Your cards live on your account, full stop.

Account-bound, server-side, undo-protected. Mistakes are recoverable. Trades, when they arrive in a future update, will be safe by default.

For the curious
You don't need to know any chemistry to play. But if you do, you'll notice things. The flame-test colours your creatures glow with. The molecules your fusions produce. The reasons sodium and chlorine love each other. Alembix is built on real science the way a great fantasy is built on real myth — quietly, in the foundations, never as a lecture.
