Another batch of quality-of-life improvements that make the game feel much better. New stuff: - big performance upgrades, in particular this should improve performance with: large decks, when moving lots of cards, and during the damage animation Clarity and visual improvements: - allow deck/draw/discard/Hall Pass style previews to be dismissed by clicking in the dark region below the cards, or clicking the escape key - card change indicators are not longer shown when previewing a pile - updates Blood Donor description to: On play: Locks. While in play: whenever you play a card worth at least one heart, remove 1 from its value for the rest of the encounter and heal you by 1. Bug fixes: - a bunch of tidy ups to the settings screens and reading save game and settings files that fix issues with not being resilient to save game file errors - fixes a bug where if Loyalty Card had a non-zero value it would not set the score to match bust limit correctly - fixes a bug where Wheel of Fortune spinning animation would play when previewing a pile that contained it - speeds up Wheel of Fortune animation

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.
