About Rite or Ruin
Summon or Perish in Rite or Ruin
In this tense multiplayer game of deception, you and up to three other cultists compete to summon your eldritch patrons. Place hidden tokens, manipulate the odds, and lure your rivals into catastrophic mistakes. Will you shape the Rite to your advantage, or tempt fate and be devoured by the power you hoped to command?Joining The Rite
1. See the deck. Each round begins with a deck revealed to all players, then shuffled and randomly dealt.2. Play your hand. You must place a set number of hidden cards (Tributes or Patrons) onto the table.3. Make your bet. Predict how many Tribute cards you can safely claim without revealing a Patron. The highest bidder takes control of the Rite.4. Draw your fate. Pull cards from your own pile first, then from others in the order you choose. If you fail to collect enough Tribute, or you expose a Patron, the Rite backfires.Summon your Patron
- Complete the Rite twice to unleash your dark god and brutally eliminate another cultist of your choice
- But beware, the others will do anything to stop you
Failure has Consequences
- If you fail the Rite, you must play an increasingly dangerous game of chance - unless you can convince another player to help you
- Beware the Jester card. If it sabotages a Rite, all players could be at risk
Choose your Cultist
- Four different cultists to choose from, each with their own unique eldritch master
- Will you summon a tentacled horror? A world-devouring snake? How will you destroy your enemies?

Started one game and couldn't put it down. Perfect to sit down with friends and banter with for hours. The character design is really compelling and works great with the overall vibe of the game. Even playing with bots was so unpredictable I found myself losing more than I'd like to admit... 10/10
Fun indie game, best to play with friends, worth the small cost for a night of fun. Make it a drinking game and see your night melt away! Do not recommend playing with a 2 year old nearby.
Neat little indie game that's just a common card game with an occult coat of paint. It's basically that one episode of Vox Machina where Pike plays Zerxus in the skulls game. The nice thing is, the game is basically infinitely replayable because of that. Worth a fiver if you're playing with friends.
Not bad, but def more fun with friends. Wasn't expecting as much gore, but it is what it is. At least it supports UHD and HFR? Also runs fine on handheld but no controller support is a bit disappointing, so I'm tethered to my desk for this game for now
Great little game, genuinely creepy. I'm already a fan of the eldritch horror genre, but there's a lot more depth to the mechanics than meets the eye. Can't wait to play this with my friends next time.
It's an alright enough card game to play if you like lying to your friends for fun and profit.
