KeyForge game modes
All these formats can be played online for free on Forgeur de clés, in 1, 3 or 5 games.
Archon
The classic KeyForge format: each player plays their own deck, and the first to forge three keys wins the game.
Adaptive
In a single game, each player secretly picks one of the two decks; if both pick the same one, a chains bid decides who plays it. Best of 3: your own deck, then your opponent's deck, then the secret pick and bid.
Alliance
Each player builds a deck from three pods: three Houses taken from different decks.
Sealed
The server draws a random deck for each player, within the SAS and set limits chosen when the game is created.
Sealed Alliance
Two or three decks are drawn from one set; each player builds a three-pod alliance from those decks.
Triad
Each player brings three decks; the opponent bans one, then you must win with each of your two remaining decks.
Hexad
Six decks per player: ban, protect, ban again, then each game is played with a different deck.
Adventure: the Keyraken
1 to 3 players team up against the Keyraken, which plays on its own after each player's turn.
Options
- Reversal: each player plays their opponent's deck.
- Community Card: each turn, a community card shared by both players changes the rules for that turn.
- Archon powers of Crucible Clash decks, off by default.
Solo play
Two players on the same screen, or a game against the AI.
Your decks
Import your decks from the Master Vault or Decks of KeyForge, then find them on the website and in the app.
