About Rana Card
Rana Card puts you in charge of a farm where every turn is a race against a limited Time cap. You draw from a magical bag of over 300 cards—spells, plants, animals, buildings and products—while dodging or shaping Time Explosions. Your choices steer you through branching events, harsh years and massive cataclysms, each offering distinct strategic paths.
Progress is built through card packs, supply crates and scratch cards that grant gold, new cards and powerful trinkets. With adjustable difficulty, mouse‑only play and the ability to save anytime, the game balances fast‑paced decision making with deep, customizable growth.
01 / THE GUIDE
Card Deck & Time Management
Each turn you draw as many cards as you dare, but every card carries a Time Cost that counts toward a limited Time cap. Exceeding the cap triggers a Time Explosion, which can be either a disaster or an opportunity depending on the cards you play.
The magical bag supplies countless unique cards, letting you shape your strategy each round. Balancing the urge to draw more cards against the risk of a Time Explosion creates the core tension of the game.
- Observe the Time Cost of each card before drawing to gauge how close you are to the cap.
- Experiment with playing cards that mitigate explosions to turn a risk into a benefit.

Map Events & Cataclysms
The map features over 20 impactful events that present meaningful choices, as well as more than 20 harsh years that are difficult yet rewarding. These moments shape the narrative and force strategic adjustments.
Beyond regular events, the game includes 10+ massive cataclysms with unique mechanics that test your resilience and force you to adapt your deck and tactics.
- Weigh the long‑term consequences of event choices rather than focusing only on immediate gains.
- Prepare a flexible deck before a cataclysm to handle its unique mechanics.

Trinkets & Combos
More than 200 powerful trinkets are available, each designed to create combos with different builds or enhance your playstyle. They add a layer of depth by interacting with the cards you play.
Combining trinkets with specific card types can unlock new strategies, allowing you to tailor your farm’s development to personal preferences.
- Try pairing trinkets that boost spell cards if you favor magical strategies.
- Mix and match trinkets to discover unexpected synergies.
