Brave Hand is ready to release, and it’s coming to Steam Friday August 6th! Brave Hand is my award-winning press-your-luck meets solitaire card game, and it's finally ready. It’s releasing for just $1.79 ($1.99 with a 10% launch discount), and includes achievements, leaderboards, and Steam Trading Cards. I want everyone to play so I hope keeping the price low will encourage you to check it out.
The game features 4 endlessly replayable modes, including a brand-new “Zen Mode.” In the game, you use the cards in your hand to challenge cards in 8 piles, and decide whether to press on challenging the same pile for exponential increase in points, or to stop and bank what you have. With randomized decks, pile complete bonuses, and special card rules to explore, you’ll find yourself playing over and over again. As you play, you unlock an epic story via 16 storybook pages. The pages double as customizable theme decks and backgrounds.
You can expect Brave Hand to be a small, highly-replayable, solitaire-style card game where your goal is to beat your previous score, and unlock a light story along the way. I made it because I loved the simple yet replayable games that came with my first computer, and wanted something like them, but with just a little more strategy.
If the main "Brave" mode is too hard or too random for your taste, you can try out the other modes! Explore Boost Mode that adds up to 3 legendary special cards to your deck, the longer Jumbo Mode with a 90 card deck, or the new more forgiving and relaxing Zen Mode. Each mode is designed to cater to a specific type of playstyle.
It would be a big help if you'd wishlist the game, and feel free to contact me through Twitter, or our Discord if you run into any trouble or just want to follow along with development. I really hope you enjoy the game.
