Terms of Service
Last updated: 18 October 2026
The short version
- Relic Rush is free to play. Play fair, and don't break the game for anyone else.
- Anyone can play against the computer as a guest. Online play and the leaderboards need an account, and accounts are for players 13 or older.
- There is no chat in the game. Other players see your username and your moves.
- We can rename, suspend or ban accounts that break the rules. If we do, we email you to say why and how to appeal.
- The game is provided "as is". We may change it, pause it or shut it down.
1. Who we are and what these Terms cover
Relic Rush (the "Game") is run by Fun Based Games Ltd. ("Fun Based Games", "we", "us"), a company based in Israel. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are an agreement between you and Fun Based Games. They cover your use of the Game at relicrush.com, including games against the computer, local games on one device, online multiplayer, player accounts and the leaderboards.
By playing the Game or creating an account you agree to these Terms, to the Community Guidelines (which are part of these Terms), and to our Privacy Policy, which explains what data we collect and why. If you do not agree, please do not use the Game.
2. Who may play
- Anyone may play against the computer, or a local game on one device, as a guest without an account.
- You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. Sign-up asks your age. If you are under 13 you cannot create an account, but you can still play as a guest.
- If you are under 18 (or the age of adulthood where you live), please read these Terms with a parent or guardian, and only play with their permission.
- You must not use the Game if we have banned you from it, or if using it is against the law where you live.
3. Your account
Online play and the leaderboards need a free account. An account has a username, an email address and a password. When you create one, we record which version of these Terms and the Privacy Policy you accepted, and when.
- Keep your password secret. You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us straight away if you think someone else is using it.
- Use an email address you can read. We use it to verify your account, to send a password reset link (valid for 1 hour) when you press "Forgot password", and to tell you about your account, for example about a moderation decision. We never use it for marketing.
- One person per account. Do not share, sell or transfer your account, and do not make extra accounts to get around a ban or a restriction.
- Your account is yours to manage. The Account screen (open it from Account, beside your name at the top left of the main menu) lets you check your email address, change your password, download a copy of your data and delete your account. You can stop playing at any time. See the Privacy Policy for what deleting your account does to your data.
4. Usernames
Your username is shown to other players, in online matches, in the lobby and on the leaderboards.
- It must be 3–20 letters, numbers or underscores.
- It must follow the Community Guidelines: no offensive, hateful or sexual names, no personal information or web addresses, and no pretending to be another player or someone from Fun Based Games.
- At sign-up we check every new name against a filter of offensive words and a list of reserved names (such as admin, moderator, staff and our own brand names). A name that fails is refused, and you can pick another.
- The filter cannot catch everything. If a name that breaks the rules gets through, an administrator may rename the account. We will email the account to say why, and how to appeal.
5. Your licence to play
As long as you follow these Terms, we give you a personal, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence, which we can withdraw, to use and play the Game in your web browser (including as an installed web app) for your own non-commercial fun. We keep all other rights.
6. Rules of play
The Game is a race, and it only works if everyone plays it as intended. You agree that you will not:
- Cheat. Do not use bots, scripts, macros, modified game clients, or any tool that plays for you or gives you information or abilities the Game does not provide.
- Exploit bugs. If you find a bug that gives an advantage, report it to us instead of using it. Deliberately abusing bugs, breaking a match, or tampering with game state, network messages or leaderboard results is not allowed.
- Team up against others. Relic Rush has no team play: every player races alone. Working with another player to decide a result against a third is not allowed.
- Attack the service. Do not probe, scan, overload or interfere with our servers, get around access controls, or try to get into other players' accounts or data.
- Harass anyone. Follow the Community Guidelines in your username and in anything you send us. No harassment, hate, threats, sexual content, spam, or sharing anyone's personal information.
- Misuse the Game commercially. Do not sell access, accounts or in-game advantages, and do not scrape, copy or redistribute the Game or its content except where the law allows it.
- Break the law. Do not use the Game for anything illegal.
7. There is no chat
The Game has no chat of any kind, in the lobby or in a match. Other players see your username and your moves, and nothing else you write. If you want to talk with other players, our official Discord server is linked from the Game. Discord is a separate service: its own terms, privacy policy and server rules apply there, not these Terms.
8. Reporting a player or content
If you see a username that breaks the rules, a player cheating, or anything you believe is illegal, email contact@funbasedgames.com. Please include:
- the username involved;
- the room code, if it happened in an online game;
- roughly when it happened;
- what happened, and why you think it breaks the rules or the law;
- a screenshot, if you have one;
- your email address, so we can reply to you.
We read every report. We will reply to you, look into it, and act where the rules or the law have been broken. We do not tell a reported player who reported them. This address is also our contact point for authorities. For a bug, use Report a bug in the Game.
9. Your content
The only things you put into the Game are your username, and anything you send us (such as a bug report or an email) ("Your Content"). You keep any rights you have in it. You give Fun Based Games a worldwide, free licence to store, show and use Your Content as needed to run the Game: for example to show your username to other players and on the leaderboards, and to use your bug reports to fix the Game.
You are responsible for Your Content and confirm that it does not break anyone's rights or these Terms.
10. Our content and intellectual property
The Game, including its name, logo, code, rules, board and card designs, artwork, 3D models, sound and text, is owned by Fun Based Games Ltd. or licensed to us, and is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws. Some music, fonts and software are licensed from others; they are listed on the Credits page and stay under their own licences.
You may not copy, change, distribute, sell, reverse-engineer or make derivative works from the Game, except where the law clearly allows it or we have given written permission. Sharing screenshots, streams and videos of your own play is welcome.
If you believe something in the Game infringes your copyright, email us at the address in section 16 with enough detail for us to find and assess it.
11. Free to play, and changes to the Game
The Game is currently free, with no purchases, advertising or virtual currency. If we ever add paid features we will update these Terms and tell you clearly before you are charged anything.
The Game is actively developed. We may add, change or remove features, rules, cards, boards or modes at any time, and we may suspend or end the Game (in whole or in part) with or without notice. Online play depends on our servers and your internet connection, so matches may be interrupted, and we do not promise that saved games or progress will be kept.
12. Moderation: renames, suspensions and bans
If we reasonably believe you have broken these Terms or the Community Guidelines, or if the law requires it, we may:
- warn you;
- rename your account;
- suspend your account for a time;
- permanently ban your account.
A suspended or banned account cannot sign in. Serious breaches, such as cheating in online matches, harassment or attacks on the service, can lead to an immediate permanent ban without a warning first.
We will email the account holder to say what we did and why, and how to appeal. To appeal, reply to that email or write to contact@funbasedgames.com. A person will look at the decision again and tell you the outcome.
Sections 9, 10 and 13 to 16 continue to apply after your account is closed.
13. Disclaimer of warranties
The Game is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that the Game will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure or free of bugs, or that any defect will be fixed. You use the Game at your own risk.
14. Limitation of liability
As far as the law allows, Fun Based Games and its directors, employees and contractors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, progress, goodwill or profits, arising from or related to the Game or these Terms, however caused. Our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Game will not be more than the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim (currently nothing, as the Game is free) and US$50.
Nothing in these Terms limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or your legal rights as a consumer.
15. Indemnity and governing law
You agree to compensate Fun Based Games for any losses, costs and reasonable legal fees arising from a claim by someone else that is caused by Your Content or by your breach of these Terms or the law, as far as the law where you live allows.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and any dispute will be brought in the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel. If you are a consumer in a country whose laws give you the right to bring claims at home, or to rely on that country's mandatory consumer protections, nothing in this section takes those rights away.
If you have a problem with the Game, please contact us first. Most issues can be sorted out quickly by email.
16. Changes to these Terms, and contact
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the current version. For important changes we will give notice in the Game or on this page before they take effect; if you keep playing after that, you accept the updated Terms. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest still applies. If we do not enforce a part of these Terms, that does not mean we have given it up.
Questions, reports, appeals, account requests and contact from authorities: contact@funbasedgames.com.
