Description
A roguelike deckbuilder where your deck is a box of dominoes. Chain them, paint them, curse them, and build a multiplier that runs away with itself. Twelve floors down, something is waiting on every third one. The stairs keep going after that.
About
Every run is a descent.
Chain dominoes across the felt and hit each floor's target before your
placements run out. Clear it, cash out, and spend the take in a shop selling
things no honest game of dominoes ever needed: painted tiles with living
powers, one-shot bone charms, relics that rewrite the rules for the whole
run, and bottled spirits you knock back mid-floor when the target is
slipping away.
Build a number that runs away with itself.
Every tile has a BASE — its pips, its bonuses, whatever the board did for
it. Then it gets MULTIPLIED. Five relics grow your multiplier all descent
long: one pays per relic you own, one per Warden you have put in the ground,
one per tile you have ever placed. Three more multiply whatever those
built — deeper floors, your last three placements, a pact paid for in cursed
bone. Owning one is a nice bonus. Owning an adder *and* a detonator is the
run you screenshot and send to somebody.
The stairs push back.
Every third floor a Warden bars the way — eight of them, each with a rule
that breaks a habit you had just settled into. No discards. Hidden targets.
A toll on every tile you place. The road ahead shows you what is coming, and
a well-placed bribe rerolls it — once. Deeper down, the descent claws at
your collection, cursing tiles that then score *against* you. Unless you
build around the rot and make it pay you instead.
Build crooked. Win anyway.
