Sorcery: Contested Realm (colloquially known as Sorcery) is a tabletop collectible card game created by Eric Olofson of Eric's Curiosa Ltd.[1] and released during May of 2023 after a successful Kickstarter campaign which ended on 4th of April 2022 with a total of NZ$ 5,784,804 pledged by 6,456 backers.
