Fool's Gambit

Fool's Gambit is a turn-based, roguelike card strategy game about playing Blackjack with tarot cards. You are a nobody with average abilities and no job prospects, so you enter a high-stakes Tournament for the money you need to survive. If you lose, the consequences are severe; if you make it through, you win the prize and can leave.

Blackjack with tarot cards

You face opponents in multiple games of Blackjack using a shared deck. Each tarot card has its own value and effect, which you can use to gain an advantage. Your opponent follows the same rules as you.

The Tournament

The Tournament has no standard rules. You navigate a randomly generated map of branching paths, with each path leading to a different event, which may or may not help you. Find your way out to leave. Each run brings different paths, choices and battles, so you must decide whether to rely on strategy or your diminishing luck.

Cards and items

Use your cards and items to gain an upper hand against your opponent.
