About Dead Man's Draw
Draw cards to build combos and outscore opponents in this tense risk-versus-reward card game where special abilities turn every hand into a potential fortune or bust. Dozens of tournaments with unique rules and 18 customizable traits ensure every game plays differently, rewarding clever strategy and daring plays in equal measure.
Key Features
- Risk vs reward gameplay – Simple and strategic card game puts everything on the line for a single, tense decision
- Create killer combos – Clever use of each card’s special power is key to victory
- Dozens of tournaments – Unique rules add hours of new twists to gameplay
- Eighteen game-changing traits – Customize your gameplay with special powers
- Beautiful art without hardware requirements – Enjoy top-tier presentation and intricately detailed graphics without needing an expensive machine
How it Works
Players take turns drawing cards in search of the greatest number of points. The simple point values of each card are important, but their special abilities are even more critical. Swords steal cards from your opponent, Mystics reveal the next card, and combining a Chest with a Key leads to a huge bounty of bonus treasure. Clever use of each card’s special power leads to victory, but daring to draw is just as important – though any card could lead to a dramatic bust, it could also propel you to glory.
Traits and tournaments make every game of Dead Man’s Draw unique. Making your Cannon special ability discard an opponent’s entire suit instead of a single card alters the path to victory for both players. Special tournament rules like collecting the cards from your opponent’s busts force you to approach every turn differently. Dozens of tournaments each bring a unique twist, and each of the 18 traits has a profound effect on gameplay.
Upgraded for PC
The original Dead Man’s Draw on iOS was praised by users on iTunes (4.5-star average) and critics alike, getting positive reviews from QuarterToThree.com, 148apps.com, PocketTactics.com, and more. This PC version is better than ever:
- No microtransactions or in-app purchases – all content is available, and traits can be used without spending gold
- New Mermaid suit ability – Mermaids now allow you to replay a card in the river, leading to even bigger combos and epic turns
- New Sirens trait – Steal any card your opponent replays with a Mermaid
- Rebuilt for PC – Higher-resolution graphics and a UI specifically built for mouse-driven play

Played this game a lot a number of years ago (2016). I have never forgotten how much fun I had whilst playing. Its worth a punt.1 found this helpful
It's basically a game that you would buy in a board game shop. unfortunately I grew distant towards games like that/this. It's a fun little card game. NOT a deck builder (which I liked honestly). A lot of luck chance. This game is good to play instead of slot machines, I guess : )), gambling is not my thing, just saying .
very dated but fun
If you enjoy the kind of randomness that comes with a card game like Fluxx, you'll like this. If you're looking for something with deep strategy, it probably won't be a good fit. Also, it seems like the only volume settings are LOUD or Off. Why?
bring rum back
Great card game for idle fun. Challenging enough to not get boring, and requires skill to beat.
