Make your move. Oddluck does the rest. Oddluck is a cozy roguelike deck-builder about the one game everyone is already playing: life. Pick a Dream — Own an Island, Build a Pizza Empire, Never Work Again — build a deck of Action, Income, Skill, and Asset cards, and manage Coins, Energy, Joy, and Freedom across a run that fits in a lunch break. Then Oddluck happens. Lucky, unlucky, chaotic — or a choice that's really a trap. 84 events land somewhere on every run. A stray bike tire. A market that turns on you. A cat that watches, unbothered, while it all unfolds. You did your part. Now see what happens. EIGHT WORLDS, ONE RUN Start in Pocketwood Plains and push through Independence Island, Credit City, Chaos County, Opportunity Kingdom, Lifestyle Mountain, Market Maze, and Freedom Frontier. Each world has its own creatures — the Impulse Goblin, the Flash Sale Fairy, the Interest Hydra, Captain Catastrophe, the Want Monster — and its own boss waiting at the end. BUILD THE DECK, BEAT THE ODDS • Draft, upgrade, and trim a deck of 75 cards. Income engines, skill combos, asset synergies — every build plays differently. • Every run is a new seed. Roguelike permadeath: win, lose, or go out laughing, then run it back with a different deck. • Money mechanics you can actually feel — debt, interest, lifestyle creep, burn rate — inside a life sim that never lectures. No dollar signs. Just Coins. • A world that visibly changes as you play. Watch your choices take shape. • Beat your records: farthest world, fastest Dream, first clear. Share the run card at the end. Brag, or confess. • Single player, turn-based, fully offline. Runs of about 30 minutes; no wifi needed. For fans of roguelike deckbuilders and card roguelites who want something warmer, stranger, and about their actual life. A strategy card game. A life sim. A luck simulator with a cat in it. Make your move.
