Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers
You've never played blackjack with cards like these!
Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers is a roguelike deckbuilder where you play blackjack using lots of cards with unique effects that you would never expect to see in a game of blackjack.
This is the demo for the game, there are more opponents, floors, and of course cards coming soon!

wheel of fortune + memory card = RNG madness
I present to you all: the 104 of clubs
Let me just say this game keeps getting better and better! Good job for real.
Addicted to glitched deck + The World. just complete calvinball at that point
I don't know if the creator reads the comments, but i want to suggest some things that i think will make the game more fun:
-I think there should be a way to reroll the tarot cards using chips cause the tarots are very game changing. A reroll would be crazy cause I had runs that were amazing and then I got tarots like the hermit, the high pristess and the star which, to be honest, are not that good and if you add rerolls you actually need to think if it is worth it to save yours chips to reroll or go to the shops or the counterfeiter
-Another change I think would make the game more fun is making it so that you can spend money to buy the other cards that are offered for free after each encounter cause I had some very good options and it broke my heart that i needed to leave the other cards
-Yet another change should be add is to change see in the future cards, because those cards are pretty underwhelming, like for exemple I hit on a ten and the hall pass comes that says that something like a 6 is next, so then my options are to either stand on a ten or hit and get a 16 like it is pretty obvious that I will just hit even if i didn't have the hall pass. So I suggest making the hall pass see 3 cards in the future and the high pristess to see everything in the future until the last card cause i don't think someone can remember everthing that will come or just make it see 10 in the future or something like that, cause the sun card is just a way superior version of the hall pass or the high priestess.
-The last thing i will suggest is to balance the prices cause in the first floor there are a lot of places where you can use chips but there aren't so many chips to get and in the second floor you get a lot of chips but there aren't that many ways of using those chips.
So those are my suggestions to the game.
Thank you for the amazing game and I am excited to see the game when it comes out.
Ah yes, the classic 52 of clubs, perfect for when you need a score of 52
If you lock a pi card (at least of spades, and maybe also the 1/2s), and the conditions for the card activate, it'll permanently stay at 4. Unless you activate it again, where it switches to 5. And then 6, and so on.
That is, unless my math is wrong, and 3+1=21.
Have a great day!
This is not a bug, it is merely a consequence of the text of the pi and half cards.
The resetting to 3 or 0 is an on-play effect, while increasing is an on-stand effect. If you lock the card, then the on-play effect doesn't activate, so the card stops resetting.
My bad, I thought it said increase to 4. Thanks for catching my error!
game took too long to come out on steam
i will not play it because i already have balatro
THE FUNNIEST THING IS WHEN YOU MANAGE TO KILL YOURSELF BY ACCIDENT BY MAKING YOUR NUMBER NEGATIVE VS A BUSTED HAND. I was trying to exploit Alucard's healing for a chip farm :P
I don't even understand how can some people die from the bouncer. smh...
Or rather, the hermit cards ;)
THE HERMIT FOREVER!!!

I love the slay the spire cameos. big fan of deckbuilders and love gambling card games (not blackjack though..) Great stuff!!
you should make it so that the opponent does not play cards from their hands if it would bust them. think about giving the opponent booster pack.
lot of new card arts
it took most of my health to do this. pretty nice :D
lol
Just beat the demo in glitch mode! Can't wait for the full game!
Beat glitch mode! I wasn't sure before, but MAN do glitched cards suck XD
The randomness with a good advantage gaining token allowed me to somehow pull it off.
What a magnificent little game you've made this is amazing
Fun game. Oddly addicting and with some funny moments. Looking forward to the full version.
115% of probability of sofa sleeper waking up after three successfully given cards looks like serious threat)
And my most epic hit - 192 dmg by devil * (22 from card value + 10 from Jack of all trades). Even thought about theoretical maximum damage, but looks like it is almost unlimited due to the possibility of huge negative values of cards by multiple apply of break limits card over and Chariot/Strength that could stop the enemy far before limit
negative health on ID cards is supported now, after damage dealt the enemy has -169/45 health
Just go with hearts and 3.4/0.5 value cards - those are OP.
i’ve been recommending this game to everyone, but now i’ve been recommending even more since balatro came out and my friends are looking for similar games. i’ve beaten the d&dg demo so many times and now i’m hooked on balatro and i’m pretty sure i’ve made at least 20 people excited to grab this when it comes out. thank you for making this game! it is so fun
also you should include a hanafuda card for no reason. i just think they look nice (the deer card is beautiful)
Could do with a Poetry Ribbon for sure, and maybe Rain Man since that would be a reference-within-a-reference. Maybe rain man adds 3 poetry ribbons, 3 plain ribbons, or 3 blue ribbons to your deck, all of which have value ?3? and are Hearts, Diamonds, and Spades respectively. Then the ribbons say if you have three ribbons in play after playing one you can choose to force you and your opponent to stand immediately or not do that (but hopefully as an on-play effect, not as an on-click effect, so it better reflects calling koi-koi). Maybe they should be value 5 and give blackjack on Akatan/Aotan idk. Something like that would definitely be fun.
Rain Man (0):
On Play: Choose to add a Poetry Ribbon or a Blue Ribbon to your draw, play, and discard piles, then burn this card.
Ribbon (7):
On Play: If you have two ribbons of the same type already in play, move all other cards in play to owner's discard pile. You and opponent are each forced to stand, and your bust limit is set to 21.
It's not bad, but I think the ribbons should be worth less, since they aren't doing anything useful mechanically and bigger numbers are worse. I got 3 because it's smaller than 5 but a factor of 21-- which is I assume how you got 7-- and 3 and 7 are equally close to 5 (the value of the card in most hanafuda games that care about card values) so that's a wash I think. Also I don't think Rain Man needs to burn on discard-- adding more ribbons isn't too OP I think, especially if the kind that's added is random. And if they are 7s its actively bad for you.
Also yours would make you bust if you have any locked non-0 card, which might be a little problematic.
I said "move to owner's discard pile" as a way to circumvent locked cards without complicated phrasing, because the text is long enough already. This would also use the interaction where locked cards that are moved somewhere other than the play pile remain locked.
If the ribbons were worth 2 instead of 3, then to create a blackjack with 3 ribbons each one could gain 5 value and then reset later. (In addition to being the value of the cards, 5 is also the value of the Akatan / Aotan combo.) I was actually thinking the different types of ribbons could have different functions. Poetry Ribbon could be another all-suits-at-once card, while Blue Ribbon could be spades or nothings and have an additional blackjack effect.
Possible bug: If the value of a locked ace is increased by The Victim card, it won't reset to 1 or 11 until the next time your bust limit is exceeded
it's not a bug (I think) any card that increases it's value if you are under the bust limit will keep the increased value and continue increasing if it is locked. it's just as it says on the card!
it's true that the 0.5 and pi cards increase their value on stand but the ace's effect is "while in play, value is 11 unless bust limit exceeded, then value changes to 1" so the value not resetting to 11 seems like a bug to me
Android version too? I am playing on my phone and works very well... Would be one of the best games on mobile..
I hope your game is successful. Greetings from Brazil!
ive been playing this for hald an hour im so obsessed
The best game I have ever played. It's just so good and kinda addictive
Wow! That's a creative and fun game. Well job, I'm really impress!
just a wondering...why is alot of the art on the cards redacted?
As far as I know, it's because they're based on cards from various franchises (Pokemon, Hearthstone, Slay the Spire, The Witcher, etc) so the art is omitted to avoid copyright.
Wow this is super fun, I want to see more of this with expanded cards / can't wait for the full Steam release (hopefully compatible for both Mac and Windows)
Thanks! Can't wait to see people play with more cards as well!
When it releases on Steam it will be available on Windows + Mac + Linux/SteamOS. The demo is currently available on Steam for those same OSes
The World + Memory Card = CHAOS
Devil+12 damage=144 damage. Absolutely destroyed opponent while on 5 hp myself
I'd like to play it, but I would have to download it and there is no downloadable version of it. Is there any way could do that? The game looks really fun and the art style is so unique!
Thanks! You could try the game on Steam - the demo is downloadable for free there
wishlisted
This looks so good
If this game had pvp I'd play everyday! So much fun
two player vs mode would destroy my free time for MONTHS
Pretty fun!
Suggestion: Swap the effects of V the Hierophant and III the Empress. I don't know anything about tarot cards so this might not reflect the tarot cards, but it would make the effects of III the Empress and IV the Emperor mirror each other.
