The House Always Wins

The hand you’re dealt is only the opening bid. Roll Dice to empower cards for the rest of the battle, then combine their effects with Relics and Cheats until an ordinary turn becomes a devastating play. Exacties make every point of damage matter, rewarding builds that can bring an enemy to exactly zero. - Empower cards using Dice for the remainder of the battle. - Combine cards, Relics and Cheats into powerful synergies. - Deal Exacties to trigger card and Relic abilities. One Relic can change a fight. The right combination can change an entire run. Every Relic grants a unique ability, while matching ranks and suits forms powerful Relic Combos. Build several combinations at once and turn a collection of individual Relics into a strategy far greater than the sum of its parts. - Gain a unique ability from every Relic. - Match ranks and suits to form Relic Combos. - Combine multiple Relic Combos in the same run. Fair play is a terrible strategy. Socket Gems into cards to permanently change how they behave—reduce costs, draw cards, double plays and more. Choose from 12 single-use Cheats for the moments when your deck needs something impossible. The House may control the casino, but you decide when to break its rules. - Modify cards with 7 different Gems. - Discover 12 Cheats with powerful abilities. - Time each Cheat for maximum impact. The elevator only goes one way. Everything else is up to chance—and you. Every run generates a new map of Battles, Elite Battles, Quests, Events, Gem Shops and Cheat Shops. Routes, encounters and opportunities change with every attempt, while each Battle takes place in one of four casino universes with its own enemies and atmosphere. Each attempt also earns XP, raising your progression level and unlocking new cards, Relics, Gems, Cheats, Quests and mechanics. - Navigate a newly generated map through 3 full Acts. - Earn XP and level up to unlock new ways to play. - Climb through 10 difficulty levels. Despite the casino theme, the game contains no gambling mechanics — only strategy, synergies, and replayability.
