Hand-me-downs

About the Game

The Hook

Hand-me-downs is a roguelike deck builder where you play against your own old hands.

Your opponents don't have their own deck, so they borrow your cards!
Each time you play a hand, your opponent takes the cards from your played hand and uses them against you the next time you meet.

The Entourage

Each opponent brings a unique twist to the table, so be careful which cards you let them have.

Most opponents you encounter are too prideful to simply use the cards you hand down to them without applying their own touch first.

Whether it's the The Painter changing the suits, or The General ranking the cards up, your opponents will make sure to complicate your plans, and provide deck-fixing opportunities to those skillful enough to manipulate them.

After all, their cards are your cards.

The Charm

Each suit has its own flavor, and each rank its unique character.

Throughout the game you'll get familiar with the no-nonsense Clubs, the fortunate Coins, the jolly Cups and the ruthless Swords.

The sabotaging Jacks, clinical Knights, powerful Kings and wild Aces are sure to provide many interesting interactions.

The Sugar

Acquire powerful trinkets to manipulate your deck and score more points.

Whether by winning battles or spending gold at the shop, getting a hold of as many trinkets as you can will help you keep up with the increasing strength of your opponents as the rounds go on.

The Spice

Redeem tickets at the shop to alter your cards and gain an edge over your opponents.

Why do your opponents let you use these obviously illegal cards against them?
Don't worry about it!
Holding the altered cards makes you feel funny?
Do not worry about it.

The Challenge

Discover and beat all decks on all tables.

Each deck provides unique benefits and each table brings new challenges to the... table.

Achieve victory with all combinations to earn the prestige "Hander of Downs" title.

(Not a legally recognized title. Yet. Working on it.)

The Plea

Sit back, relax, bob your head to the beat, and let the shuffling begin!
