Duelyst was a very popular online card game that shutdown around 3 years ago. The developers have recently released it into the public domain (via CC0 license).

You can completely selfhost a private instance (repo has a good straight forward guide)

There is a public instance available to try https://duelyst.org/. Though it might be pretty barren.

There is also a closed fork which should have a more active userbase https://duelyst2.com/, the game rules are a little different (draw 2 vs draw1), but should have more users to get a feeling for the game.

The game in a nutshell is basically Hearthstone on a chessboard. It’s very fun and approachable and in my opinion one of the best cardgames right next to MagicTCG :). Hopefully the community for it will grow more and we can have a sort of second renaissance for it :)

I seriously think that every online only game should have to make the server assets public if they've abandoned it longer than 10 years. So many good games are just lost to time.
