Shadow Era is a free-to-play multi-format virtual collectable card game, which you can play on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, PC and most web browsers. It has over 550 cards and unlimited deck-building possibilities. If enjoy Magic: The Gathering or World of Warcraft TCG or Hearthstone, then you will likely enjoy Shadow Era.
Upon discovering it three years ago, I loved the game so much I wrote a step-by-step beginner's guide and decided to dedicate part of my website to it. It's quite out of date now, so you might want to try shadowera.net instead, which is run by a team rather than this site. (My own site has been neglected for the last couple of years while I have been very busy working on the game itself!)
NOTE: The game recently had a major user interface overhaul (screenshot above shows old version from 2011), including digital sleeves, playmats, targeting lines, drag-and-drop play, zoomed stats.
