DESCRIPTION

TAROGUE is a Tarot Roguelike Deckbuilder 🃏 It's Atmospheric, Challenging, and a Cozy-Horror. You are cursed to be The Fool. You’re trapped in The Tower. And now, you must uncover the secrets of the four Tarot suits to escape. We combine synergistic, satisfying gameplay with immersive, atmospheric lore-depth. Players draft Tarot-cards and gather trinkets. You progress by laying out a spread of Tarot-cards, manipulating them and watch as the points rack up! ♥️♠️♦️♣️

UNIQUENESS

We’re combining the well-known world of Tarot with the highly popular Roguelike Deckbuilder genre to create the first TAROGUELIKE. TAROGUE is overflowing with dark ambience, deep lore, and engaging gameplay. Imagine Luck be a Landlord crossed with Balatro in the mystical package of Inscryption.
