HOW HIGH CAN YOU CLIMB? Notchy is a one-more-climb number game about making exact totals, managing imperfect cards, and pushing your luck one rung further. The climb begins at 5, then continues through 8, 13, 21, 34, and beyond. Use your six-card hand to hit each target exactly. Clear it, and that value becomes your automatic Carry toward the next rung. The higher you climb, the more possibilities open up—and the harder every decision becomes. WELD YOUR WAY UP Combine two cards into one powerful Weld. When all six Plays are occupied, Late Weld cards you have already played to free space without changing your total. MAKE EVERY CARD COUNT See what is coming next, spend your limited Trashes carefully, and adapt as the numbers grow. Every climb is different. ONE SAVE PER CLIMB Bust a target and you can use your single Overage to retry the rung. Once it is gone, the next mistake ends your climb. CHASE YOUR BEST Your score is the highest target you clear. Review past climbs, resume an unfinished run, and keep reaching for the next number. FEATURES • An endless Fibonacci-inspired number puzzle • Strategic card play with Weld and Late Weld mechanics • Six-card hands and exact-target scoring • Limited Trashes and one precious retry per climb • Automatic progress saving and run history • Optional sound and haptic feedback • Reduce Motion support • Fully playable offline Simple to begin. Surprisingly deep. Always one rung higher.

WikiDeck

WikiDeck turns Wikipedia into a collectible card game. Every card is a real article: a video game studio, a film, a star, a Greek god, a constellation, a football club… Its rarity comes from how often the article was read over the year: the more a subject is read, the rarer its card. OPEN PACKS Free packs come back throughout the day. Tear the wrapper and flip your cards one by one: common, rare, epic, legendary, in classic, holographic or prismatic finish. FILL YOUR ALBUMS A subject's card opens its album: a studio and its games, a director and their films, a mythology and its gods. Complete an album to earn rewards. TRADE AND BID Offer trades to your friends, put your duplicates up for auction and follow bids live on the players' market, with in-game credits. SEVEN UNIVERSES Video games, cinema, celebrities, sport, mythology, space and more, in English and French. The odds of every pack are published in the app. In-game credits have no monetary value. Texts and pictures come from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, under their respective licenses. WikiDeck is not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation.
