CardBoard

CardBoard combines tabletop party games with roguelike deckbuilding. Play solo or with friends: roll your character’s dice to move around a board, then use cards to fight whatever awaits at the end of each round. On the final round, face the ruler of the board.

Choose your character

Everyone can choose the character they want, with no healer required and no risk of being locked out because another player chose first. Before setting out, you can preview your starting deck and see which characters your teammates have picked. You can also change your class before beginning. A character who starts as a tank can pick up healing cards along the way.

Roll and move

Each character has different dice and movement rates. One might roll a single D20, while another rolls two D6. A D20 can help you travel the board faster and complete a deck sooner, but that character’s cards need more investment and upgrades to reach the power of those belonging to a slower-moving character.

Board spaces and shops

Landing on a space can give you rewards, even if you pass it without stopping. Red and blue spaces always give or take gold, and the amounts increase the longer you spend on a board. Other tiles have a rare chance to grant special rewards when you meet additional criteria.

Two shops can appear on a board:

• Jimmee: This reseller’s card shop offers single cards and packs. Packs are based on your chosen character and can contain any card from that class, good or bad.
• Tella: This fortune teller shows the upgrade paths for cards in your class and lets you choose a path for a price. Upgrades can change how you use a card and enable combos with other cards.
