Card Monarchy is out in Early Access
Card Monarchy is a roguelike card battler built from regular playing cards. Play as a King or Queen, build a ten-card deck, and fight your way through the Abbey to the Abbot. Win or lose, the more you play, the stronger you get.
What's in Early Access (0.9.0)?
The Abbey. 13 encounters and the Abbot, on a branching map where you choose your own path.
Deckbuilding 40 cards to build ten-card decks from, with no duplicates, so every slot is a real decision.
Monarchy Skills A permanent skill tree at the Citadel that grows from finished runs, won or lost.
The Bottomless Pit An endless descent, unlocked by clearing the Abbey.
The Joust A versus mode that opens after your first run, with all 52 cards and all 8 Monarchs available. Play hand-off on one screen, against the AI, or set both seats to the AI and watch.
What's next?
Early Access has one Quarter, the Abbey. The Mines, the Graveyard and the Tower are shown on the map as "Coming soon", and more Monarchs come with them. I'd love to hear what you think, so please post feedback in the discussions.
Thank you for playing.
