Blackjack with the rules bent
Every fight is a hand of blackjack where both of you want the other to bust. You hit, stand, and place your bet, then twist the math with cards that raise or lower values, force your opponent to overcommit, swap cards across the table, or peek at what is coming. Secret combinations hide inside your deck for the runs when everything lines up. Death ends the run, a new one deals you a fresh set of possibilities.
Souls dealt one hand at a time
You never see your opponents, only their hands. Each restless soul has its own playstyle and curses, and meeting them again teaches you how they bet, when they push, and what story they are stuck telling. Between tables you collect Artifacts, Card Suits, and Curses that tilt the next duel. Win enough Soul coins and the ferryman takes his bribe. The setting stays dark, the tone stays wry: everyone here is gambling for a way out.
Good to know before you bet?
How does a run actually work?
You start with a small deck and duel a series of souls at the blackjack table, drafting and upgrading cards, Artifacts, Suits, and Curses as you go. Winnings build toward the bribe that buys your freedom, and losing your stake ends the run.
What do the cards do to blackjack?
They mess with the numbers and the table itself: shifting card values, controlling decks, swapping hands, and setting up hidden combinations. The core stays hit-or-stand, but the edge comes from stacking effects your opponent cannot easily answer.
Do you need to know poker or blackjack already?
Blackjack basics help — get close to 21 without going over — but the game teaches its own twists through play. The strategy is less about counting cards and more about when to bet big and when to spring a combo.
