The newest version of the demo is now live! This version is primarily focused on fixing bugs that were discovered since the demo went live. Here's a list of the changes in version 0.2 of the demo: New features and improvements: - adds a new card mat background for the Basement - fixes multiple places where quickly selecting a choice could skip encounters, add multiple reward cards to your deck, enact events multiple times, inadvertently make a choice while clearing dialogue, or just straight up crash the game! - overhauls the Wheel of Fortune card - speeds up the end of encounter 'collect cards' animation - fixes The Moon not correctly shrouding opponent cards Clarity improvements: - improves the effect description of the Scratch Card - fixes the effect descriptions for One of Spades, Clubs, Diamonds, and Hearts to match other suited "regular" cards - fixes the help text not showing when choosing a card from The World - fixes the help text being out of date for The High Priestess - fixes the name of the game when running in Windows to have an '&' not an 'and' I hope you enjoy this new, more stable version of the demo, and thanks again to everyone who helped to find these bugs, especially the members of the Discord!

You’ve played blackjack before…



In Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers you’ll travel through a tavern where everyone plays a very different version of blackjack to what you’re used to. You’ll have to master it to strike down the capitalists at the top that are profiting from the tavern’s manipulation of the blackjack-addicted townspeople.

But never with cards like these!



Every run you’ll build a new deck from a collection of over 175 unique cards, each with it’s own special effect. Will you use the powerful Tarot cards? Or perhaps you prefer the Business Card, or the Hall Pass? Or maybe you have an Ace Up Your Sleeve?

Just as your deck will be different every time, so will the way you wield the cards. One run you might be focused on drawing aces, while the next you are aiming to fill your opponents deck with bad draws.

And never in a place like this!



As you make your way through the tavern you’ll be presented with many choices - make sure you make the right one, as the consequences could catapult your run to greatness, or end it very quickly… Will you buy a loot box, open a booster pack, drink ale, or stay in the fancy room?




Disclaimers: Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers contains no real currency gambling, no micro transactions, no loot boxes, no bait and switch tactics, no cryptocurrencies or NFTs, and definitely no Skinner Box “gameplay elements”. Any art that resembles art from other media is used only as a parody, to poke fun at predatory monetisation tactics, and the absurdity of how tried and true methods used to make adults addicted to gambling are now used by gaming’s largest companies to trap children in their lifelong whale nets. Problem gambling is a serious matter, if you or a loved one is affected please look up and contact your local problem gambling services.
