A roguelite card combat game where every combo counts.

Match cards from a 3x3 grid to slay monsters, manage enemy countdowns, and master your hero's unique playstyle — all without traditional turns.

How It Works

Draw from a standard 52-card deck laid out on a 3x3 grid. Find cards that sum to 11 or form a Royal Trio (J + Q + K) to deal damage. Match suits for bonus effects — Spades hit harder, Hearts heal, Clubs cleave all enemies, and Diamonds fuel your abilities.

There are no turns. Every combo you play ticks down enemy intent countdowns. When they hit zero, enemies strike. The pressure never stops.

Choose Your Hero

• Guardian — Tank hits, retaliate, and shield up

• Trickster — Manipulate enemy timing and unleash devastating crits

• Necromancer — Sacrifice raw damage to summon an undead army

• Blood Cultist — Pay in blood for explosive rage-fueled combos

• Pyromancer — Forget damage — set the world on fire and watch it burn

Each hero has a unique passive, active ability, and special card deck that completely changes how you approach combat.

Special Cards

A side-deck of powerful ability cards unique to your hero. Play buffs before combos, trigger instant effects, summon minions, delay enemies, reflect attacks — the tactical layer that separates a good run from a great one.
