It seems to work fine, i got the game
  • Fast
  • Easy
row key
  • you gave me a row key
Loved it!!!
It is a fun game and it is very interesting to play,

However, the game is best played while taking breaks from the game if you have played the game for a while as the game could count as a form of gambling. Even though, you are not spending money on the game and you could get a addiction while playing the game and that is not good.

uhhhhhhhhhhh I'm just trying to make it so this message is five hundred (500) letter long as that it's a requirement for one of the achievements on the discord.

So, how was everyone's day?,

you only have to say/replay to this comment if you want to and you actually see this message. For the people who have played this game, what is your opinion of this game? I would like to actually know.
  • it is a fun game
  • Poker x Rouge like game

My new favorite deck builder. Wild variety, surprising synergies, just one more run! There’s also so much to discover on your own, I’m still unlocking things - plenty of undocumented secrets as well. Don’t spoil it, just get it already
