OpenDuelyst

This is the source code for Duelyst, a digital collectible card game and turn-based strategy hybrid developed by Counterplay Games and released in 2016.

This repo preserves the state of the game as it existed before the shutdown in 2020, with improvements targeting the code and infrastructure. The game is playable by hosting a local server; there is no public server available at the moment. When playing locally, all factions and cards are unlocked, and you start with bonus Gold and Spirit for building new decks.
