Hit The Deck

Your deck. Your pain. One rule: finish it. Hit the Deck turns a plain deck of cards into the most unpredictable workout you'll ever do. Draw a card — the suit picks your exercise, the number picks your reps. Face cards are 10. Aces are 25. The Joker? Fifty. He laughs at you. Survive all 52 and hit the deck one last time. THE GAME • Five built-in decks, from Super Basic to The Destroyer • Build your own: your exercises, your suits, your rules • Wild Card mode: the deck picks, you suffer • Today's Deck: the same 52 cards for everyone on Earth, every day • Boss finale, curses & blessings, combo streaks, slam-to-finish THE DEALER A voice with opinions calls your cards, roasts your quit attempts, and loses his mind when the Joker shows. Your music never stops — the Dealer ducks in and out like a proper DJ. THE META-GAME • Streaks with a Streak Shield — one missed day a week, forgiven • XP ranks and a trophy case with zero participation trophies • A 30-day grid of every deck you've destroyed • Personal records, daily challenges, share cards built for bragging DUEL MODE One phone, two rivals, one shared deck. Pass and play, winner takes the crown — literally. ON YOUR WRIST Full Apple Watch app with complications. Log workouts to Apple Health (duels stay between you and your rival). Inspired by the legendary 52-card jail-cell workout. No accounts, no ads, no data leaves your phone. Completely free.
