Cardistry is free-to-play idle clicker &amp; card collector featuring hand-drawn art by real artists. Collect and trade unique cards on the Steam Market, all while celebrating human creativity over AI-generated slop.

Cardistry is a free-to-play idle clicker and card-collecting game with hand-drawn art by real artists. Click to earn soft currency, let the game run in the background for time-based drops, and build a collection of cards you can own and trade on Steam. No AI slop - just human-made drawings that grow into a collection over time. We start with AI “brainrot” animals - the loud, cursed meme creatures you’ve seen everywhere – redrawn by real people instead of pasted from a model. Cardistry began as a small challenge: prove that a few artists, given time and freedom, can make more interesting brainrot art than any model spamming the same prompt all day. <video class="bb_img" autoplay muted loop playsinline crossorigin="anonymous" poster="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4072890/extras/90cf90eb66d247933382ee4095b261d5.poster.avif?t=1776184841" width=1170 height=381 ><source src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4072890/extras/90cf90eb66d247933382ee4095b261d5.webm?t=1776184841" type="video/webm; codecs=vp9"></video> Core mechanics:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Time-based drops (Common every 3h, Rare every 12h + daily catch-up Rare)</li><li>Click your equipped card to earn Inspiration Points (IP); higher rarity card= more IP</li><li>Random “Sketch Fragment” events that can burst into big one-off IP rewards</li><li>Spend IP on instant-drop boosters (Common/Rare/double-card) with daily/weekly limits</li><li>Recycle duplicates into Support Credits (SC) and buy cards/boosters in the store</li><li>All cards are Steam inventory items; trade them and chase monthly 24h “Black Market Friday” Legendary/Golden cards</li></ul> Cardistry is a small, loud “NO” to AI slop: a comfy idle game about silly animals, shiny cards and knowing every piece in your inventory was drawn by a human.
