ENTER THE DUNGEON. PLAY YOUR CARDS. SURVIVE. Welcome to Dungeon Scoundrel: Solitaire, a dark fantasy roguelike card crawler where your greatest weapon is your mind. No dice, no random chance combat—just pure tactical survival. Navigate a deadly deck of cards where every draw represents monsters, weapons, and life-saving potions. Can you outsmart the dungeon, manage your health, and escape with your loot? THE TACTICAL SOLITAIRE EXPERIENCE Each turn, you explore a Room made of 4 cards drawn from the deck. You must choose exactly 3 cards to interact with, leaving 1 behind for the next room. Overwhelmed? You can flee by placing the room's cards at the bottom of the deck—but beware, you cannot run away twice in a row! KNOW YOUR DECK The Monsters (Spades & Clubs): Brutal foes that deal damage equal to their card value (Jacks are 11, Queens 12, Kings 13, Aces 14). The Weapons (Diamonds): Equip a weapon to absorb incoming damage. But strategy is key: once a weapon strikes a monster, it degrades! It can only be used against subsequent monsters of equal or lesser value. Miscalculate, and you will be forced to fight the next beast barehanded. Health Potions (Hearts): Restore your vitality. You can only drink one potion per room, so timing your heals is the difference between life and death. ENDURANCE MODE & DEEP RUNS Clearing the standard deck is just the beginning. Enter Endurance Mode to push your luck! After clearing a floor, you face a critical decision: Escape with your massive loot multipliers, or Descend deeper for an insane score boost? Every time you descend, the weakest potions and weapons are permanently removed from the next deck. The deeper you go, the deadlier the dungeon becomes! THE BLACK MARKET Hoard Bones from slain monsters to unlock game-changing starting loadouts. Buy a powerful Diamond card to start your run with an equipped weapon, or purchase a Heart to gain a passive Health Regeneration buff that automatically heals you after every room. RISK EQUALS REWARD Shattering the high score takes master strategy. Multiply your score and Bone haul by taking on brutal modifiers. Lower your starting health, enable Challenge Mode, or set strict Time Limits. If you survive, your remaining seconds and unused red cards are converted into a massive score explosion! WHY YOU WILL LOVE DUNGEON SCOUNDREL: Deep, brain-burning puzzle strategy for fans of roguelike deckbuilders. Offline single-player gameplay—slay monsters anywhere, anytime. Infinite replayability with scaling difficulty and Endurance Mode. Intense risk-vs-reward scoring and economy system. The dungeon is waiting. Draw your cards, engineer your ultimate run, and become the most legendary scoundrel!

About

Rogue's Hand

Read full description

Rogue's Hand is a compact solo card crawler built around a standard deck and difficult tactical choices. Enter rooms of four cards. Defeat monsters, equip weapons, drink potions, and decide when to flee. Resolve three cards from each room; the final card carries forward with added Momentum. Choose from four distinct classes: • Warrior — bypass a weapon restriction when it matters most. • Mage — transmute potions into weapons or weapons into healing. • Cleric — exorcise a dangerous monster and replace it with a new card. • Rogue — make a tactical retreat after engaging part of a room. Plan around weapon degradation, limited healing, class abilities, and an ever-shrinking deck. Clear every card to win. Reach zero health and the run ends. Features: • Four playable classes • Fast, turn-based solo runs • Player statistics with overall and per-class results • Contextual tutorial tips, replayable from How to Play • No advertisements • No in-app purchases • Playable offline • Light and Dark Mode • VoiceOver support Statistics track completed runs, victories, win rate, best scores, winning streaks and your most-played class. Earlier runs are not reconstructed. One deck. Four classes. Every card is a decision.
