## What is Deckbuilder?

DECKBUILDER is a roguelike deckbuilder: build a deck of startup moves, fight rival companies turn by turn, and steal the best cards straight off their announced roadmaps.

STEAL FROM THEIR ROADMAP
Every enemy shows its next moves before they land. Play steal cards to take those moves for yourself — their attack becomes your card.

FIGHT THROUGH FOUR ACTS
Each run climbs a branching map of fights, elites, shops, events and rest days, with a boss at the end of every act. Lose and the run is over. Win and you IPO.

BUILD A DIFFERENT DECK EVERY RUN
Draft new cards after every fight, upgrade them at rest sites, buy perks and one-shot boosts in the shop. Three founder classes with different starting decks and different mechanics.

COLLECT BETWEEN RUNS
Demo Day spins award permanent cards and foil, holo and prismatic finishes for your collection. Duplicates convert into options you spend on the exact card you want. A top-tier finish is guaranteed within 12 spins, and the odds are printed in the app.

SEEDED RUNS AND A DAILY
Every run has a seed you can share and replay. The daily run puts everyone on the same board with the same modifiers.

FAIR BY DESIGN
No energy timers, no lives, no forced waits. One optional purchase removes ads permanently.

## Version history (last 2 releases)

### 1.1.1 — 2026-09-26

- Picking a reward card now takes two taps: select it, then TAKE. A mis-tap no longer adds a card.
- The shop, rest and event pages have a button to view your deck.
- A greyed-out event choice says why you cannot take it.
- Starting a new run over a saved one asks first, and the old run counts as a loss in History.
- The end-of-run screen scrolls, so its buttons are always on screen.
- Settings can show the tips again.
- Accessibility labels and small layout fixes.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-09-16

No release notes.
