Art Empires 0.48.0: Retrospectives

Oct 09, 2026

Art Empires 0.48.0 is live. A deck built mostly from one artist's cards gets one extra redraw at the Mulligan.

  • A deck with 20 or more of its 30 cards by one artist is a retrospective, and redraws one more card at the Mulligan. Starter cards don't count toward it. The deck page shows how close a deck is.
  • The collection leaderboard has a Uniques column, counting the Unique cards each player holds.
  • On the collection, PvE, PvP and research leaderboards, click any column heading to sort the board by it.
  • With more than one city, the totals row on My empire shows your research points and how many arrive an hour, and says how many cities are full of a resource when only some are. See settling.
  • A card whose chosen target only fires as a turn ends, like the Laundromat, can be played on an empty board again, and no longer asks you to aim it as you play it.

Art Empires is my city-building empire game you play in your browser, and every card in it is a deviation submitted by the artist who made it. Play Art Empires at ArtEmpires.com, or read the full changelog.
