Grim Stakes

Pick your race, build your empire, and prepare for chaos!

Grim Stakes takes a classic board game experience and injects it with castable spells, catastrophic cards, casino games, and cutthroat property management! Play in a group of up to 8 friends or with AI in a race to dominate the board through magic and money! Will you be a benevolent landlord, or will you drain their mana and watch them fall?

Strategic Property Management

• Build Your Empire: Choose between different property types

  • Landlord - Collect rent from those who land on your property.
  • Money Toll Booth - Collect money from passers by (smaller amount than landlord).
  • Mana Toll Booth - Collect mana from passers by, denying their ability to cast spells!

• Choose your player's race: Choose your identity as a Human, Troll, Vampire, or Wizard, each bringing an unique play style to the game and unique emoji board game pieces!

• Spend money at shops: Gain the upper hand by purchasing extra dice or Card and Spell Booster Packs to stay ahead of the competition!

High-Stakes Gambling

• The Casino Floor: Test your luck with fully integrated casino games, including Blackjack, Baccarat, Sic Bo, Slot Machines, Mines and Crates!
• Risk & Reward: Use gameplay modifying cards to alter minimum casino bet requirements, to dodge rent, to multiply your rents and more when you’re low on funds!

Magical Chaos & Social Play

• Castable Spells: Sabotage your rivals! Teleport players across the board, steal their gold, inflate tax costs, steal their cards, etc!
• Twist of Fate: Land on event squares for unpredictable outcomes - win game-changing spells/cards or face a devastating negative event.
• Chaotic Multiplayer: Play with up to 8 players locally (mouse/keyboard) or fill the table with advanced AI. You can even spectate 8 AI players in a total battle royale!
• Global Accessibility: Switch between 28 languages instantly during the game, allowing every player to choose their preferred language during their turn!
• Jailhouse Justice: Don't just watch your friends go to jail - throw rotten vegetables at them while they're behind bars!

Keep track of what's going on!

• Fully logged gameplay: Every action taken during each player's turn is fully logged so players can keep track of what on earth is going on!
• Advanced statistics tracking: During the game multiple statistics are tracked and made available in chart format for users to figure out who is in the lead!
