Against the Dark Moon

A party sets out. The road is long, the target is a score far beyond reach, and the moon overhead is getting darker.Against the Dark Moon is a poker roguelike inspired by 1980s fantasy. Build a party of up to five heroes from dozens of choices. Each hero has their own abilities and personality — a barbarian whose laugh is worse than his weapon, a rider drawing the sword of a lost god, a young mage memorizing his spellbook. Their skills stack, clash, and combine — every party plays differently. Play poker hands with cards painted in the style of 1980s fantasy illustration. Score. Advance. Defeat the forces of evil.But the Dark Moon is always rising. Every turn brings it closer to the threshold, and when it strikes, you'll face three curses and have to choose the one your heroes can survive. Manage the moon, chase the score, and find combinations that turn a modest hand into total victory.Activate Divine Intervention cards to reshape your deck mid-run. Unlock rare heroes whose abilities change how you play. Every run surprises you — different cards, different heroes, different curses, different strategies.

• Poker hands are your weapons. Build powerful hands — pairs, straights, flushes, full houses. Your heroes shape every hand you play. Multiply with Wyrd to turn a losing hand into a killing one.
• The Dark Moon rises. Every turn brings it closer. When it strikes, three curses appear — pick the one you can survive. The moon doesn't negotiate.
• Build your party. Up to five heroes fight alongside you. Choose from dozens, all of them different. A barbarian whose laugh is worse than his weapon. A rider who drew the sword of a lost god. A blindfolded bard who sings the turns. Their skills collide, chain, and sometimes save you.
• Every card is a painting. Named, illustrated, flavored. Every hand tells a story.
• Divine Intervention. Activate powerful cards to reshape your deck, empower your heroes, or bend fate.
• Every run is different. New heroes, new cards, new curses, new strategies. Roguelike to the core.

No two games play the same. No two cards play the same. This is a poker roguelike for the player who ever rolled a character and meant it. Who ever held a good hand and felt the weight of it. The Dark Moon is rising. Only your heroes can defeat it.
