A la Card

A la Card is a food truck deckbuilding roguelike. You build a deck of food cards by combining and altering their effects, then serve customers and adapt your strategy to each run's challenges.

Build your food deck

You can attach one food's effect to another, change what triggers an effect, swap stats and inherit flavours. Sequence cards to make the most of their effects, and combine ingredient calories with recipes to make room to serve more food. Each run has a window in which you pack in as many calories as possible before hitting the road to assemble powerful cards.

Random events let you change card details, including colours, calories, effects and their triggers. Each starting deck has a trinket that shapes how it plays, and you can find more trinkets during runs to mix and match. Winning runs unlocks additional starting decks and trinkets, and adds more cards to the pool for future runs.

Face bosses and challenges

Each location has a boss with a unique ability. Bosses present self-contained puzzles: they give you a card and stay until you serve it to them or clog the window with half-eaten scrap, so you must adapt your deck and find creative solutions.

You can revisit favourite decks to take on special challenges and earn stars. The game includes hundreds of cards and dozens upon dozens of mid-game events and upgrades, making each run different.
