Exiles and Overlords
A deckbuilding card game meets tic-tac-toe! Build a your team of exiles, equip your hero with weapons, and battle your way through bosses and baddies to the castle. Free the kingdom from tyranny of the Overlord.
How To Play
Battle
Swap a card out with a card in your deck to dig for what you need. Play a card on to the board. Earn gold based on how you win. Beware that your cards will tick down 1 health each turn, so they will eventually go away. Get 3 cards in a row to win!
Trade
Open packs after each battle and trade cards to upgrade your deck. As you go you have a higher chances of opening powerful uncommon or rare cards. Spend your gold on additional packs.
Upgrade
Items can be bought and used as passive bonuses, permanent card enhancements, or clutch tools to be used in battle. These show up in packs along side new cards.
Achieve
Achievements are still WIP but there are plans for ways to increase the stakes on each run. Your battle will continue after you defeat the Overlord into endless mode. See how far you can get against an infinitely scaling cavalcade of enemies.
Future Plans
- Complete card arts, exile Portraits, and effects.
- Alternate board backgrounds for different areas.
- Unlockable exiles with unique card pools.

No discord yet. Glad you enjoyed!
Pretty difficult
Very fun! I enjoyed the game loop. I think there is a lot potential with effects, such as like maybe increasing the number of cards in hand, etc. I would say some stuff that isn't obvious is the moving of the dead cards / characters to the discard pile confused me at first, and on the final boss level I died because I didn't have a ton of characters left. Maybe that could be one aspect that is more clear on how that works?
Thanks for the feedback!
