PLAY REACTOR REALMS FREE

Choose Thornbound or Gloomborn. Each faction gives one player a complete Common-only preview setup: a ready-to-play 35-card deck, four Settlement cards, and two Dragon guardians. No deckbuilding is required.

New player shortcut: print one faction PDF for each player, cut out the cards, then open the Rules page. You can learn names like “Silver Pool” and “Builder Pool” while you play instead of memorizing them first.
Thornbound

Ready-to-play Thornbound preview

35-card deck + 4 Common Settlements + 2 Common Dragons. The PDF is US Letter landscape, 6-up, with crop marks.

Selected: Thornbound. Click any card below to enlarge it. Some cards appear more than once because the ready-to-play preview uses multiple copies of the same card — they are not different versions.

Printing

Use the PDF for physical play.

Print at Actual Size / 100% with Fit to Page turned off. Each PDF contains the complete Common preview setup for that faction.

In the rules, the 35-card deck is called the Silver Pool. The four Settlements are kept separately as the Builder Pool. The two Dragons also begin outside the deck.
