Hand-me-downs

Hand-me-downs is a roguelike deckbuilder where you play against your own old hands. Opponents borrow your cards rather than using decks of their own. After each face-off, you swap cards with your opponent, then may encounter and play against the hand you just used. Each opponent has a distinct twist, so the cards you give them can complicate your plans.

Cards and opponents

The suits each have their own character: no-nonsense Clubs, fortunate Coins, jolly Cups and ruthless Swords. Each rank also has a distinct character, while face cards and aces have powerful effects that can shut down opponents or score large amounts of points.

The Bouncer restricts which cards you can play, while The Painter changes the suits after a switch. You need to account for opponents' abilities when deciding which cards to let them have.

Trinkets and corruption

You acquire trinkets to manipulate your deck and counter opponents. They can increase your score, suppress your opponents or alter your deck.

Totally-not-cursed tickets corrupt your cards to give you an edge. The Shopkeeper insists on sharing their curses, and refusing is not an option.

Decks and tables

Unlock and beat every deck on every table. Each deck offers unique benefits, and each table introduces new challenges. Winning with every deck-and-table combination earns the prestige title Hander of Downs, which is not yet a legally recognized title.
