What is it? #

Why I built it #

I had been percolating on the idea of a card game where you could mash up people and characters from throughout history, pop culture, and fiction for over 10 years. I finally decided to try to build something out of it.

The technical side #

• Full game engine handling deck-building, run generation, and progression
• Character talent system that creates weird synergies
• Free-to-play setup that doesn’t feel gross

Current status #

Currently in alpha. Testing and refining the core gameplay loop and character balance.
