Scoundrel

A Single Player Rogue-like Card Game

Navigate through rooms of monsters, weapons, and potions. Your goal is simple: survive the deck. Every card played is a resource spent, and every monster skipped is a threat that will return.

An adaptation of the original game design by Zach Gage and Kurt Bieg.

Rules

In Scoundrel, you are navigating a 44-card dungeon. The goal is to get through the entire deck with at least 1 HP remaining.

Card Types

♥ Potions: Heals you up to your maximum of 20 HP. Only the first potion consumed in a room provides healing.

♦ Weapons: Provides attack power. Equipping a new weapon replaces your current one.

♣ ♠  Monsters: Enemies with difficulty based on their face value. Jacks are 11, Queens 12, Kings 13, and Aces 14

Gameplay

Combat: You defeat monsters by discarding them. If you have a weapon, you take damage equal to the monster's value minus your weapon's power. If unarmed, you take the full value as damage. You may choose not to use your weapon.

Weapon Durability: A weapon can only slay a monster if that monster's value is lower than the one you previously killed with that same weapon. If a monster is equal to or stronger than the last one you killed, you must take the hit unarmed.

Room Progression: You are dealt 4 cards at a time. You must interact with at least 3 cards before you are allowed to move to the next room.

Running

You can choose to skip a room by "Running." This move takes the remaining cards in the current room and shuffles them back into the bottom of the deck.

You cannot run after you interact with a card in a room. You cannot run from two rooms in a row. Once you escape a room, you are forced to deal with the next 4 cards until at least 3 are cleared.
