Dead Man's Draw

Dead Man’s Draw is a card game for two players, built around a choice each turn: play it safe or risk drawing another card for more points and a chance to make a powerful combo. You take turns drawing cards, using their point values and special abilities to outscore your opponent. A draw can lead to a dramatic bust or a greater reward.

Cards and combos

Each card’s ability can shape a turn. Swords steal cards from your opponent, Mystics reveal the next card, and combining a Chest with a Key earns bonus treasure. The PC version adds a Mermaid suit ability that lets you replay a card in the river, as well as a Sirens trait that lets you steal any card your opponent replays with a Mermaid.

Tournaments and traits

Dozens of tournaments add unique rules that change how you approach each game. For example, some rules let you collect cards from your opponent’s busts. You can also choose from 18 traits, each of which affects gameplay. One trait changes the Cannon ability so it discards an opponent’s entire suit instead of a single card.

PC version

The PC version has higher-resolution graphics and a user interface built for mouse-driven play. It includes all content without microtransactions or in-app purchases, and traits can be used without spending gold.
