Pokermancer is a roguelite poker-puzzle game built for quick, strategic runs. Trace paths through a 4x4 grid of cards to create poker hands and reach the target score. Cleared cards disappear, new cards fall in from your deck, and every path you draw can matter as much as the hand you form. Between rounds, spend your gold in the Break Room on trinkets and items that change how you score. Discover powerful synergies, shape your build, and turn modest hands into massive results. Each floor adds new hazards that change the board, including frozen, burning, and statically charged cards. Every fifth round, a boss changes up the rules. Adapt your strategy or lose the run! Beat all five tables to unlock Overtime, an escalating difficulty mode with ten ranks that remove resources, add challenges, and push your builds even further. Play for free through the first three floors. One purchase unlocks the full game! Features: * 100+ trinkets and 30+ items to collect * 11 unique starting packs each with their own perks and spells * 25+ boss conditions * 7 hazard types to contend with * 10 Overtime difficulty ranks per pack * Keep playing in an endless mode beyond floor 5 * Portrait orientation and one-handed play * No ads, no loot boxes, no pay-to-win; one purchase unlocks the entire game and all future content
