Demo and editions

The sandbox today

With PRODUCT_SITE_ENABLED=true, the kit serves a local engine sandbox at /demo. It is the kit's own game surface:

• browse the catalog and search;
• open packs and view the collection;
• run races and see results;
• try fusion, breeding, abilities and quiz;
• inspect the admin login.

The sandbox is not a finished game and its data is disposable.

The hosted demo (planned)

A hardened public demo is planned at demo.cardgamekit.com. It is isolated from production and disposable by design:

• separate application, database, Redis namespace, queue, storage and secrets;
• no registration, email, password reset, export or deletion;
• no uploads, AI generation, client build, installer, migrations or command runner;
• a read-only admin tour;
• periodic reset from a snapshot;
• rate limits, optional CAPTCHA, quotas, an egress firewall and a global kill switch;
• noindex and canonical to the product site;
• monitoring and a documented acceptance test (DemoModeTest).

The demo is built after the installer golden path is stable.

Editions (planned)

Add-ons: Full-AI pack, managed install, custom theme, training, priority support, managed hosting, content/art pack, extra games.

Pricing

Pricing is being finalised. Editions differ by what is included: installation, updates, support and add-ons. The site uses "Contact us" until the owner publishes prices.

Updates and support

Twelve months of updates are planned with paid editions, then optional renewal. Security fixes are always included.
