This update adds a third day to Smith's campaign! In day three, your sister Mulifee has you working for Eden, an ambitious Admiralty officer, or Seemli, the leader of the the Pearl's small Rise contingent. Choose your alliances carefully - the choices you make will impact the finale that you will eventually face!


Day three also wraps up Tei the Luminari's arc. Depending upon how you play your cards you'll end up going toe-to-toe with one or more of these characters:



Based on playtesting and user feedback, we've done a broad pass on both Sal and Rook's combat and negotiation cards. We've also added a bunch of new cards and grafts to Smith's arsenal. We've also fixed a lot of bugs, improved the UI, and generally brightened the corners. You can read the full details here on the forum, or you can just jump in and play! Happy Grifting, everyone! Smith's story is almost complete - all that's left is the climactic confrontation with his brother, Vixmalli. There will be a couple more balancing and quality-of-life updates to go before we get there, but you'll be able to see previews soon on the experimental branch. Please keep that feedback coming! We read and appreciate every piece of feedback that you F8 our way, and it really does help us improve the game.

Griftlands is a deck-building rogue-like where you fight and negotiate your way through a broken-down sci-fi world. Every decision is important, be it the jobs you take, the friends you make, or the cards you collect. Death comes quickly, but each play offers new situations and strategies to explore.

At this stage of development you can play as Sal or Rook, with a third character and campaign in development. Sal is an adventurer out for profit and revenge. Rook is an aging spy working his own agenda. Expect regular updates, including new cards, quests and characters as we work on the game with community feedback!
