A downloadable game for Windows

Cardolon is a turn-based card game featuring strategy elements, where you must prevent the destruction of London using the eight elemental cards, the four from the [1666] version, and four new cards for the [DELUXE] version. Rather than earning a score as the game goes along, you start off with as high a score as you can ever get. At the start, all tiles are worth 100 points. As a tile burns or is destroyed in some other manner, it's worth slowly decreases. At the start of each turn, it is possible for a special event to occur, such as a dragon attack or the river flooding
