SCP: Cardtainment Breach

SCP: Cardtainment Breach is a single-player, turn-based strategy deck-building game set in the SCP Foundation universe, a shared horror and fantasy setting featuring anomalous objects and creatures. You play as D-9341, a human prisoner trapped in SCP-079’s containment chamber after a breach lets dozens of entities loose. SCP-079 instigated the breach and also wants to escape, so it offers you an uneasy alliance—but first, it wants to test whether you can be useful.

The story

SCP-079 tests you using a game the Foundation built to assess its capabilities. The game uses only creatures and objects held in the facility, allowing SCP-079 to work out how they behave and exploit their strengths and weaknesses as it plans the breach. If you fail, SCP-079 says it will dispose of you lethally. You can re-enter and try again as often as you like, even after losing; once you have proven yourself, you can challenge it again with a different or improved strategy, without the threat of fatal consequences.

Build your deck

Before a match, you assemble a deck of eight cards:

• Five entity cards, featuring SCPs such as 173, 096, 106 and 049.
• Two item cards, featuring items such as 131, 009 and 500.
• One passive card, featuring entries such as 001, 207 and 018.

Take turns and fight

You and SCP-079 each have 10 HP. On each turn, both sides play one entity card and one item card. In the combat stage, every card on the board uses its abilities in order, from top-left to bottom-right. Some cards have special abilities, while others can be stacked to build their stats; these are known as horde cards.

To attack your opponent, an entity card must enter the combat stage without an opposing card in its way. Some passive cards have abilities tied to the time of day, which is visible only when a daytime-based card is on the board. The day-and-night cycle changes every three days, and you can configure maximum HP before starting a game.
