Rogue Paper Scissors

Rogue Paper Scissors is a card game where you play three slots at once against an opponent that tries to read your choices. You commit one card to each slot without seeing the opponent’s cards; all three slots resolve simultaneously, with no initiative or turn order. Before you choose, the enemy gives you a tell that may be incomplete or deceptive, depending on its archetype.

Choose your payoffs

Rock beats Scissor, Scissor beats Paper, and Paper beats Rock. Winning a slot grants a reward based on the winning type: Rock gives you shield, which is HP you keep; Paper gives you glue, used to fuse cards; and Scissor inflicts bleed, dealing damage later regardless of what the opponent does next. Your choices depend on which reward you need on that floor and what you think the hidden card will be.

Fuse cards

You can combine two cards and glue at a forge to create one of 12 hybrids, each of which changes how the three types interact. Glass Guillotine deals double damage and destroys itself unless it kills its target. Mirage Blade forces a draw and denies the opponent the slot, while Type Lock reveals what is coming.

Risk your loot

The game has 24 floors. After clearing each one, you can extract with your loot or continue and risk everything you are carrying. Its contents include four playable classes, 25 enemy archetypes, 20 relics, 20 scrolls, 20 authored events, 10 curses and 20 ascension tiers.
